Answer
Projective geometry is a branch of geometry that deals with properties that are preserved under projection, a transformation in which points in space are mapped onto a plane. One of the most important theorems in projective geometry is Pappus's hexagon theorem, which states that if six points are arranged in a hexagon, then the lines connecting opposite pairs of points intersect at three points that lie on a line.
