8-1 Building Blocks of Geometry The building blocks of geometry are points, lines, and planes.

8-1 Building Blocks of Geometry Additional Example 1: Identifying Points, Lines, and Planes Use the diagram to name the geometric figure. A. three points M, N, and P Five points are labeled: points M, N, P, Q, and R. B. two lines PR and NR You can also write RP and RN.

8-1 Building Blocks of Geometry Additional Example 1: Identifying Points, Lines, and Planes Use the diagram to name the geometric figure. C. a point shared by two lines point R D. a plane plane QRM Use any three points in the plane that are not on the same line. Write the three points in any order. Point R is a point on PR and NR.
