three points are always coplanar, and if
the points are distinct and non-
collinear, the plane they determine is
unique Back to chart

WHAT IS IT? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

The intersection of two or more
geometric figures is the set of
points they have in common

HOW IS IT NAMED?
Lines can intersect planes, and planes
can intersect each other. The intersection
is written as a line.
