1. 3-Dimentional Geometry Points that lie on the same line. PLANE – A flat surface that extends in all directions without end and no thickness. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC).

2. Any three or more points that lie in the same plane. Two non-coplanar lines that never intersect.

3. PARALLEL PLANES – two or more planes that never intersect. Ex)__________________________________________ The floor and the ceiling of a room. PERPENDICULAR PLANES – two planes that intersect at right angles. Ex)__________________________________________ The floor and a wall of a room. Note: Two planes are perpendicular to each other if and only if ______________________________________________ one plane contains a line perpendicular to the second plane

4. Two Points define a Line Two Lines intersect at a Point Two Intersecting Lines define a Plane Two planes intersect at a line AB A Three Non Collinear Points define a Plane

5. A line is perpendicular to a plane when it extends directly away from it, like a pencil standing up on a table

6. If the pencil is perpendicular to a line on the table, then it might be perpendicular to the table

7. Or it might be leaning over

8. But if it is perpendicular to two lines (where they intersect) then it will be perpendicular to the table:

9. When a line is perpendicular to two lines on the plane (where they intersect), it will be perpendicular to the plane.

10. It will also be perpendicular to all lines on the plane that intersect there.

11. THEOREMS: 1. Given a point there passes one and only one line perpendicular to a given plane. 2. Converse: Given a point there passes one and only one plane perpendicular to a given line.

12. 3.If a line is perpendicular to a plane, then every plane containing the line is perpendicular to the given plane 4.Two lines perpendicular to the same plane are coplanar

13. 5.If two planes are perpendicular to the same line, they are parallel 6. If a plane intersects two parallel planes, then the intersection is two parallel lines Parallel Planes!!

14. True or False? FALSE TRUE FALSE f.At a given point on a given line, only one line is perpendicular to the line ___________________ FALSE
