What is the geometric term for a tablecloth, a line, point, or plane and why?
IT IS A PLANE...OFCOURSE WE TAKE IT TO COVER EXACTLY THE TABLE TOP WITHOUT ANY OVERHANG..
A PLANE HAS LENGTH AND WIDTH WITH NO OR IN OUR CASE NEGLIGIBLE HEIGHT OR THICKNESS....A PAPER OR TOP OF A TEXT BOOK ARE OTHER EXAMPLES.
BY DEFINITION A POINT HAS NO LENGTH,NO WIDTH,NO HEIGHT.IT INDICATES ONLY A POSITION.
A LINE HAS LENGTH BUT NO WIDTH OR HEIGHT.
A PLANE HAS LENGTH AND WIDTH BUT NO HEIGHT
A SOLID HAS ALL 3 DIMENSIONS.
