In geometry, how do defined terms and undefined terms relate to each other?

In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane. 

<span>POINT (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size). Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness. A point is usually named with a capital letter. In the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered pair, (x,y). </span>

<span>LINE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions. A line is named by a single lowercase written letter or by two points on the line with an arrow drawn above them. </span>

<span>PLANE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions. Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall. Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC). </span>

<span>Undefined terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. A line segment is the portion of a line that includes two particular points and all points that lie between them, while a ray is the portion of a line that includes a particular point, called the end point, and all points extending infinitely to one side of the end point. </span>

<span>Defined terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms. An angle, for example, is a combination of two different rays or line segments that share a single end point. Similarly, a triangle is composed of three noncollinear points and the line segments that lie between them. </span>

<span>Everything else builds on these and adds more information to this base. Those added things include all the theorems and other "defined" terms like parallelogram or acute angle. </span>

The crowd at a concert estimated to be 3,500 people. The exact attendance is 3,486 people. What is the percent error?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

0.4016%

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated Value = 3,500 people ,  Exact attendance = 3486 people

We can see that there is a Percentage decrease . So we will apply the formula.

%Decrease = Old Value - New Value /Old Value × 100%

%decrease = 14/3486 %

%Decrease = 0.4016% (Answer)
