New Vocabulary 6.1 Foot [of a line] - The point of intersection of a line and a plane. (p 270) 6.3 Skew [lines] – Two lines that are not coplanar. (p 283)
Important Related Vocabulary from previous chapters: Collinear – lying on the same LINE (1.3, P 18) lying on the same LINE (1.3, P 18) Plane – SURFACE such that if any two points on the surface are connected by SURFACE such that if any two points on the surface are connected by a line, all points of the line are also on the surface (4.5, P 192) a line, all points of the line are also on the surface (4.5, P 192) Coplanar – Lying on the same PLANE (4.5, P 192) Lying on the same PLANE (4.5, P 192) Noncoplanar - points, lines, segments (etc.) that DO NOT lie on the same PLANE points, lines, segments (etc.) that DO NOT lie on the same PLANE (4.5, P 192) (4.5, P 192) Intersect - to OVERLAP a figure or figures geometrically so as to have a point or to OVERLAP a figure or figures geometrically so as to have a point or set of points in COMMON (1.1, Pp 5 - 6) set of points in COMMON (1.1, Pp 5 - 6) Parallel [lines] - COPLANAR lines that DO NOT intersect (4.5, P 195) COPLANAR lines that DO NOT intersect (4.5, P 195)
In Chapter 3, you learned that two points determine a line... A B AB,or line “m” m
In 6.1, you will learn the Four Ways to Determine a Plane (you must memorize and know these!!!) 1.Postulate: Three non-collinear points determine a plane. 2. Thm 45: A line and a point not on the line determine a plane. 3.Thm 46: Two intersecting lines determine a plane. 4.Thm 47: Two parallel lines determine a plane. A C m A B n m n m Did you notice how all three Theorems stem from the postulate: “Three Noncollinear points determine PLANE?”
Postulate: If a line intersects a plane not containing it, then the intersection is exactly one point. Postulate: If two planes intersect, their intersection is exactly one line. m P S m nB A one POINT a line intersects a plane one LINE two planes intersect
