'.a'y bi'i by.' would be the line between A and B. 
'lo cibjgatai... pe .a'y jo'u by. jo'u cy.' — the triangle ABC (that is, "of A, B and C in sequence")


You could say {.i ca'e .a'y by cy cibjgatai gi'e se jipno .a'y .e by .e cy} for "Let ABC be a triangle with A, B and C as its vertexes."
You then can refer back to it with {.a'y by cy} ("ABC") as a pronoun.y

For talking about the length of a segment [AB], you can just say {lo ni .a'y darno by ku} or {lo se darlai be .a'y bei by (ku)}, "the distance between A and B".
