Which of the following options is a real-world example of a plane?

Option #1: A location on a map
Option #2: A room in a house
Option #3: A countertop

1 answer

A real-world example of a plane is Option #3: A countertop.

In geometric terms, a plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. While a countertop is not infinite, it is a flat surface that serves as a practical example of a plane in a three-dimensional space.

Option #1 (a location on a map) represents a point, not a plane, and Option #2 (a room in a house) is a three-dimensional space rather than a two-dimensional surface.
