  2. In geometry, a plane is a flat surface that extends into infinity. It is also known as a two-dimensional surface. A plane has zero thickness, zero curvature, infinite width, and infinite length.

    In geometry, a plane is a flat surface of two dimensions. It extends endlessly and has no thickness. You can think of a piece of paper or the surface of a wall as a part of a geometric plane. The flat shapes in plane geometry are known as plane figures.

  4. Plane (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a plane is a two-dimensional space or flat surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space.

    A plane is a flat surface with no thickness. Our world has three dimensions, but there are only two dimensions on a plane: length and width make a plane. x and y also make a plane. A plane has no thickness, and goes on forever. Examples. It is actually hard to give a real example!

    Planes. A plane, as defined by Euclid, is a “surface which lies evenly with the straight lines on itself.” A plane is a two-dimensional surface with infinite length and width, and no thickness. We also identify a plane by three noncollinear points, or points that do not lie on the same line.

  7. A plane is a two-dimensional surface that extends at two opposite directions, infinitely. Learn its definition in geometry and algebra, along with its representation, properties and intersecting planes.

    Plane Geometry is about flat shapes like lines, circles and triangles ... shapes that can be drawn on a piece of paper. Point, Line, Plane and Solid. A Point has no dimensions, only position. A Line is one-dimensional. A Plane is two dimensional (2D) A Solid is three-dimensional (3D)

  9. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    In Euclidean geometry, a plane is a flat two- dimensional surface that extends indefinitely. Euclidean planes often arise as subspaces of three-dimensional space . A prototypical example is one of a room's walls, infinitely extended and assumed infinitesimal thin.

    Plane. A plane is a flat surface that extends in all directions without ending. It is two-dimensional (2D), having length and width but no thickness. Planes and geometry. Planes are probably one of the most widely used concepts in geometry. Some of the interesting characteristics of planes are listed below:

  11. Plane -- from Wolfram MathWorld

    A plane is a two-dimensional doubly ruled surface spanned by two linearly independent vectors. The generalization of the plane to higher dimensions is called a hyperplane. The angle between two intersecting planes is known as the dihedral angle.
