Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Geometry (Greek) "measurement of earth or land" The study of geometry can be broken into two broad types: plane geometry and Solid geometry

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes plane geometry: which deals with only two dimensions, it deals with objects that are flat, such as triangles and lines, that can be drawn on a flat piece of paper. Solid geometry: allows width, depth and height. The world around us is obviously three-dimensional, such as cubes and spheres.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Clearly, our world is three dimensional. But in the fictional story Flatland by Edwin Abbott, he speculates what living in a two-dimensional world (a plane) would be like. Surprisingly for a science fiction story, it was written in 1884, and his writing style is quaintly Victorian as a result. An excerpt from Chapter 1:..Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows...

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes The most basic figures in geometry are undefined terms, which cannot be defined by using other figures. The undefined terms are: Point, Line, and Plane which are the building blocks of geometry.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Point: A exact location or place. Usually represented by a dot. It is important to understand that a point is not a thing, No size. We indicate the position of a point by placing a dot with a pencil. This dot may have a diameter of, say, 0.2mm, but a point has no size. Points are usually named by using an upper-case single letter. If a set of points all lie in a straight line, they are called 'collinear'. If a set of points all lie on the same plane, they are called 'coplanar'.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Collinear: When a set of points all lie in a straight line.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Points that lie on the same line are collinear. K, L, and M are collinear. K, L, and N are noncollinear. Points that lie on the same plane are coplanar. Otherwise they are noncoplanar. M K L N

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Line: A geometrical object that is straight, infinitely long and infinitely thin. A line is one-dimensional. It has zero width. A straight line is the shortest distance between any two points on a plane.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Line: In the figure below, the line PQ passes through the points P and Q, and goes off in both directions forever, and is perfectly straight. A line, strictly speaking, has no ends.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes PLANE: A flat surface that is infinitely large and with no thickness and extends forever. It is difficult to draw planes, since the edges have to be drawn. When you see a picture that represents a plane, always remember that it actually has no edges, and it is infinitely large. pointlinePlaneSolid Zero dimensionsOne dimensionTwo dimensionsThree dimensions

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Plane:

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Plane explained: Imagine a flat sheet of metal. Now make it infinitely large in both directions. This means that no matter how far you go, you never reach its edges. Now imagine that it is so thin that it actually has no thickness at all. This is the 'plane' in geometry. The plane has two dimensions: length and width. But since the plane is infinitely large, the length and width cannot be measured. Just as a line is defined by two points, a plane is defined by three points. Given three points that are not collinear, there is just one plane that contains all three.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Line Segment: A straight line which links two points without extending beyond them. A line segment is one-dimensional. It has a measurable length, but has zero width.. The word 'segment' typically means 'a piece' of something, and here it means the piece of a full line, which would normally extend to infinity in both directions.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Line Segment: See the figure below. The line segment PQ links the points P and Q. The points P and Q are called the 'endpoints' of the segment.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes RAY: A portion of a line which starts at a point and goes off in a particular direction to infinity. One way to think of a ray is a line with one end. A ray starts at a given point and goes off in a certain direction forever, to infinity. The point where the ray starts is called (confusingly) the endpoint. A ray has no measurable length, because it goes on forever in one direction.

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes A Ray On its way to infinity it may pass through one or more other points. In the figure above, the ray starts at A and also passes through B..

Geometry CH 1-2 Points Lines and Planes Opposite Rays: Opposite rays are two rays that both start from a common point and go off in exactly opposite directions and form a straight line. You may name a ray using the Endpoint and any other point which the ray passes through. Such as Do not forget the ray crown
