1. 1.1 Identify Points, Lines, and Planes
Goal
Name & Sketch
Geometric Figures

2. A point has no dimension. It is represented by a small dot.
Point A A
A line has one dimension. It extends without end in two directions. It is represented by a line with two arrowheads. ℓ
Line ℓ or BC B C

3. Lines n C A Lines extend indefinitely and have no thickness or width.
How to sketch : using arrows at both ends.
How to name: 2 ways
(1) small script letter – line n
(2) any two points on the line -
Never name a line using three points - n A C

4. Points How to label: Points do not have actual size. How to Sketch:
Using dots
How to label:
Use capital letters
Never name two points with the same letter
(in the same sketch). A B C A

5. Collinear Points A B C Non collinear A C B
Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. (The line does not have to be visible.) A B C
Collinear
Non collinear A C B

6. A plane has two dimensions
A plane has two dimensions. It is represented by a shape that looks like a floor or wall. You have to imagine that it extends without end.
plane M
or plane DEF F D E M

7. Planes
A plane is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions.
How to sketch: Use a parallelogram (four sided figure)
How to name: 2 ways
(1) Capital script letter – Plane M
(2) Any 3 non collinear points in the plane - Plane: ABC/ ACB / BAC / BCA / CAB / CBA A M B C
Horizontal Plane
Vertical Plane
Other

8. Different planes in a figure:B
Plane ABCD
Plane EFGH
Plane BCGF
Plane ADHE
Plane ABFE
Plane CDHG
Etc. D C E F H G

9. Other planes in the same figure:
Any three non collinear points determine a plane!
Plane AFGD
Plane ACGE
Plane ACH
Etc.

10. Are the following points coplanar?
Coplanar Objects
Coplanar objects (points, lines, etc.) are objects that lie on the same plane. The plane does not have to be visible.
Are the following points coplanar?
A, B, C ?
Yes
A, B, C, F ? No
H, G, F, E ?
Yes
E, H, C, B ?
Yes
A, G, F ?
Yes
C, B, F, H ? No

11. Postulates (write this down)
Postulates are statements that are accepted without further justification or proof.
Postulates (write this down)
Postulate, Two points determine a line.
Through any two points there is exactly one line.
Postulate, Three points determine a plane.
Through any three points not on a line there is
exactly one plane.

12. Name Points, Lines & Planes
Use the diagram at the right. p
a. Name three points. D E
b. Name two lines.
c. Name two planes. m F Q R
Example 1
Name Points, Lines & Planes

13. Collinear points are points that lie on the same line
Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane.
Coplanar lines are lines that lie on the same plane.

14. Collinear & Coplanar Points
Use the diagram at the right. H
a. Name three points that are collinear. F E D
b. Name four points that are coplanar. G
c. Name three points that are not collinear.
Example 2
Collinear & Coplanar Points

15. The segment AB consists of the endpoints A and
B, and all points on AB that are between A and B.
endpoint
endpoint A B
Please understand that AB is the same as BA
and that AB is the same as BA

16. Understand that AB is NOT the same as BA
The ray AB consists of the endpoint A and all points
on AB that lie on the same side of A as B.
endpoint A B
Understand that AB is NOT the same as BA

17. Draw Lines, Segments, & Rays
Draw three noncollinear points, J, K, and L. Then
draw JK, KL, and LJ.
1. Draw J, K, and L.
2. Draw JK.
3. Draw KL.
4. Draw LJ. K L J
Example 3
Draw Lines, Segments, & Rays

18. Intersection of Figures
The intersection of two figures is the set of points that are common in both figures.
The intersection of two lines is a point. m
Line m and line n intersect at point P. P n
Continued…….

19. 3 Possibilities of Intersection of a Line and a Plane
(1) Line passes through plane – intersection is a point.
(2) Line lies on the plane - intersection is a line.
(3) Line is parallel to the plane - no common points.
Lesson 1-1 Point, Line, Plane

20. Intersection of Two Planes is a Line.B P A R
Plane P and Plane R intersect at the line
