For this reason, points are called 0-dimensional figures, lines 1-dimensional figures, surfaces 2-dimensional figures, and solids 3-dimensional figures. This corresponds to the fact that the position of a point is analytically represented by one real number on a line, a pair of real numbers on a surface, and a pair of three real numbers within a solid. …
