1.2: Points, Lines and Planes

18. Points, Lines, and Planes
Definition
Uses known words to describe a new word.
Undefined terms
Words that lack a formal definition.
In Geometry it is important to have a general agreement about these words.
The building blocks of Geometry are undefined terms.

19. Points, Lines, and Planes
The 3 Building Blocks of Geometry:
Point
Line
Plane
These are called the “building blocks of geometry” because these terms lay the foundation for Geometry.
These are “undefined” terms. They are not formally defined. We agree on a common description for each of these.
A definition is a statement that clarifies the meaning of a word or phrase. It is impossible to define point, line and plane without using words that must also be defined, so they remain undefined.

20. Points, Lines, and Planes

Has no size
A location in space
Represented with a dot
Named with a Capital Letter

21. Points, Lines, and Planes
Example: point P P

Set of infinitely many points
One dimensional, has no thickness
Goes on forever in both directions
Named using any two points on the line with the line symbol over them, or a lowercase script letter

23. Points, Lines, and Planes
Example: line AB, AB, BA or l B A
**2 points determine a line l

24. Points, Lines, and Planes
Has length and width, but no thickness

Points that lie on the same line
Points A, B, and C are Collinear A B C

27. Points, Lines, and Planes
Coplanar
Points that lie on the same plane
Points D, E, and F are Coplanar D E F

28. Points, Lines, and Planes
Line Segment
Two points (called the endpoints) and all the points between them that are collinear with those two points
Named line segment AB, AB, or BA
line AB segment AB 
A B A B
Always name a segment using the endpoints.

29. Points, Lines, and Planes

Part of a line that starts at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.
Initial Point
Starting point for a ray.
Ray CD, or CD, is part of CD that contains point C and all points on line CD that are on the same side as of C as D
“It begins at C and goes through D and on forever”

30. Segments and Their Measures
Between
When three points are collinear, you can say that one point is between the other two. A B C D E F
Point B is between A and C
Point E is NOT between D and F

31. Points, Lines, and Planes
Opposite Rays
If C is between A and B, then CA and CB are opposite rays.
Together they make a line.
Use yarn and have students go to front and show this. A B C

32. Points, Lines, and Planes

1.3: Segments and Their Measures

35. Segments and Their Measures
Postulates
Rules that are accepted without proof.
Also called axioms

36. Segments and Their Measures
Ruler Postulate
The points on a line can be matched one to one with the real numbers.
The real number that corresponds to a point is called the coordinate of the point.
The distance between points A and B, written as AB, is the absolute value of the difference between the coordinates of A and B.
AB is also called the length of AB.

37. Segments and Their Measures
Segment length can be given in several different ways. The following all mean the same thing.
A to B equals 2 inches
AB = 2 in.
mAB = 2 inches
If no measurement units are used then it is understood that the choice of units is not important. (If a grid is given, it is based on the smallest square in the grid.)

38. Segments and Their Measures
Example 1
Measure the length of the segment to the nearest millimeter. D E

39. Segments and Their Measures
