  1. 1.2 Points, Lines, and Planes

  2. What is a definition? • Known words used to describe a new word Undefined terms – are terms not formally defined. There are three undefined terms in geometry: 1. Point 2. Line 3. Plane

  3. Point 1. A location in space. 2. Has no dimension (no length, no width, no depth). 3. Usually represented by a dot. 4. Named using one capital letter.

  4. Point For example: ●B

  5. Line • A series of points that extends in opposite directions without end. • One-dimensional (length). • Has an arrowhead on each end representing the fact that it goes on forever. • Always straight. • Named with a lowercase script letter or by 2 points on the line

  6. Line For example: Can be called: Line l Line AB or AB Line BA or BA l A B

  7. Plane • A flat surface that extends forever in two dimensions (length & width). • Contains infinitely many points and lines. • Usually represented by a four-sided figure. • Named with a capital script letter or 3 points on the surface of the plane

  8. Plane For example: Can be named: Plane W Plane ABC, plane BCA, plane CBA, etc. A W C B

  9. More Definitions • Collinear points – points that can lie on the same line.

  10. More Definitions • Noncollinear points – D

  11. More Definitions • Coplanar points – points that can lie on the same plane.

  12. More Definitions • Noncoplanar points – A D

  13. More Definitions • Equidistant – equally distant

  14. More Definitions • Intersect – Two or more figures intersect if they have one or more points in common. • Intersection – All points or sets of points the figures have in common.

  15. When a line and a point intersect, their intersection is a point. l B

  16. When 2 lines intersect, their intersection is a point.

  17. When 2 planes intersect, their intersection is a line.

  18. When a line and plane intersect, their intersection is a point.

  19. Questions???

  20. REMOTE TIME ! Classify each statements as true or false

  21. Question 1 • PF ends at P

  22. Question 2 • Point S is on an infinite number of lines

  23. Question 3 • A plane has no thickness

  24. Question 4 • Collinear points are coplanar

  25. Question 5 • Planes have edges

  26. Question 6 • Two planes intersect in a line segment

  27. Question 7 • Two intersecting lines meet in exactly one point

  28. Question 8 • Points have no size

  29. Question 9 • Line XY can be denoted as XY or YX.

  30. Horizontal Planes – Ceiling and Floor • Horizontal Planes – Two sides horizontal and no sides vertical

  31. Vertical Planes – Walls • Vertical Planes – two sides are vertical

  32. l M O Group Practice Vertical line l intersects a horizontal plane M at point O

  33. Group Practice Horizontal plane Q and vertical plane N intersect

  34. Group Practice Point P is not in Plane N. Three lines through point P intersect N in points A, B, and C.

  35. Remote Time !

  36. True or False • All points on a line are coplanar

  37. True or False • A line has one endpoint

  38. True or False • A point is named by a capital letter.

  39. True or False • Two lines intersect in two points.

  40. True or False • The edge of a plane is a line.
