What is a location in space that has no thickness?

Hi Tabatha,

When you deal with any two-dimensional object, such as a square or a 
circle or a triangle, it has two dimensions: length and width. 
However, these objects lack depth (or thickness).  So, any two-
dimensional object or any plane (an infinite area) has no thickness.

I hope this is what you are looking for. Good luck!
