what is defined and undefined term. explain. 

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. 

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.

A defined term is that whch has been explained properly. But sometimes, to define a term, mathematicians have to define several other terms. These terms, which have have not been explained properly or can be understood witht the help of physical models are called undefined terms.

Hope this helps :)
