Hello!

I wondered what was the correct word to use for the case when a
geometrical element intersects *or* completely encloses another element.

For example, let's say you have a rectangle and two line segments in 2D
like this:

+----------+
| |
| ---- |
| | |
+--|-------+
|
|

Now what's the generic mathematical term for the relationship between
the rectangle and both line segments (the horizontal one not
intersecting the rectangle but being enclosed by it)?
