Understanding points, lines and planes

Undefined TermsPoint: names a location and has no size(a capital letter is expressed with a dot).
Line: is a straight path that has no thickness and extends forever(a lowercase letter or two points on a line).
Plane: a flat surface that has no thickness and extends forever( a script capital letter or three points not on a line).
Collinear: points that lie on the same line(see pictures at the bottom).
Coplanar: points that lie on the same plane( see pictures at the bottom).
Segment and Rays:Segment: line segment, is the part of a line consisting of two points and all points between them.
Endpoint: is a point at one end of a segment or the starting point of a ray.
Ray: is a part of a line  that starts  at an endpoint and extends forever in one direction.
Postulates( statement excepted without proof)-Lines, Points, and Planes.
1-1-1 Through any two points there is exactly one line.
1-1-2 Through any three noncollinear points there is exactly one plane containing them.
1-1-3 If two points lie in a plane, then the line containing those points lies in the plane
Postulates- intersections of lines and planes.
1-1-4 If two lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point.
1-1-5 If two planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line.

    La matematica es esencial para nuestro diario vivir. Los terminos indefinidos son de conocimiento basico para la geometria. Algunos ejemplos de terminos indefinidos son: puntos, planos y rectas.
