What is an object with no thickness that extends infinitely in 2 directions called?
A line.
What extends infinitely in 2 directions and consists of points?
A line segment.
What is the set of all points on a plane?

What are the 5 basic geometric elements?
1. Point A point is an location in space, it has no dimensions. 2. Line A line is a set of points that extends infinitely in opposite directions. 3. Line Segment A line segment is a part of a line that has a two endpoints and not extends in opposite directions. 4. Ray A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends in one direction. 5. Plane A plane contains an infinite number of points on a flat surface that extends in all directions.
What are the characteristics of undefined terms in geometry?
Point - a dot on a page. A point has no dimensions (length, width, height), it is usually represent by a capital letter and a dot on a page. Think of it as an infinitely small place or position on a map.Line - an unlimited number of points along the same path. The set of points may be straight or form a curve. Normally, the term 'line' means a straight line. The 'line' has no dimensions (length, width, height) and extends unlimited in both directions. (The part of a line defined by two points, called 'endpoints', is call a line segment or 'segment'.) A 'line' is represented by a drawn line with arrowheads on each end to represent that it doesn't have endpoints. A line can be named in two ways: (1) use the capital letters representing two points on the line and place a double-headed arrow above the two letters (2) use a lowercase letter beside the line to represent it.Plane - a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions. It is usually represented by a parallelogram (four sided figure) with a capital letter in one corner. Remember the plane is not limited by the parallelogram, it extends infinitely. The plane can also be represented by using three points that lie on the plane surface but not on the same line (noncollinear).
