... Example 2: What best describes the surface of a movie screen? A. point B. line C. plane Solution: The surface of a movie screen is most like a plane. Beyond the Basics Now we can use point, line, and plane to define new terms. Space: The set of all points expanding in three dimensions. Think back to ...
