Definitions An "undefined term" is a word or term that does not require further explanation. There are three undefined terms in geometry: Points - A point has no dimensions (length, width, height), it is usually represent by a capital letter and a dot on a page. It shows position only. Lines - composed of an unlimited number of points along a straight path. A line has no width or height and extends infinitely in opposite directions. Planes - a flat surface that extends indefinitely in two- dimensions. A plane has no thickness.
Points & Lines A television picture is composed of many dots placed closely together. But if you look very closely, you will see the spaces. However, in geometry, a line is composed of an unlimited (infinite) number of points. There are no spaces between the points that make a line. .................................... B A You can always find a point between any two other The line above would be called line or line
Points & Lines Line , or , Points are labeled with letters. all refer to the same line Line a Lines are named by using any two points OR by using a single lower-case letter. Arrowheads show that the line continues without end in opposite directions.
Collinear Points Line , or , all refer to the same line Points A, B, and C are NOT collinear points since they do not lie on the same (one) line. Line a Points D, E, and F are called collinear points, meaning they all lie on the same line. Postulate: Any two points are always collinear.
Example: Give six different names for the line that contains points U, V, and W. Answer [This object is a pull tab]
Intersecting Lines If two non-parallel lines intersect in a plane they do so at only one point. and intersect at K. Postulate: two lines intersect at exactly one point.
Example a. Name three points that are collinear b. Name three sets of points that are noncollinear c. What is the intersection of the two lines? a. A, D, C b. A,B,D / A,C,B / C,D,B (others) c. Point D Answer [This object is a pull tab]
Rays or Rays are also portions of a line. Rays start at an initial point, here endpoint A, and continues infinitely in one direction. is read "rayAB"
Naming Rays or Rays and are NOT the same. They have different initial points and extend in different directions.
Opposite Rays Suppose point C is between points A and B Rays and are opposite rays. Opposite rays are two rays with a common endpoint that point in opposite directions and form a straight line.
Collinear Rays Recall: Since A, B, and C all lie on the same line, we know they are collinear points. Similarly, segments and rays are called collinear, if they lie on the same line. Segments, rays, and lines are also called coplanar if they all lie on the same plane.
Example Name a point that is collinear with the given points. a. R and P b. M and Q c. S and N d. O and P
Example Name two opposite rays on the given line e. f. g. h.

Example Are the three points collinear? If they are, name the line they lie on. a. L, K, J b. N, I, M c. M, N, K d. P, M, I
Planes Planes can be named by any three noncollinear points: Plane KMN, plane LKM, or plane KNL or, by a single letter such as Plane R. (These all name the same plane) Points K, M, and L are coplanar. Points O, K, and L are non-coplanar in the diagram above. However, you could draw a plane to contain any three points Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane:
Collinear points are points that are on the same line. J,G, and K are three collinear points. F,G, and H are three collinear points. J,G, and H are three non-collinear points. Any three non-collinear points can name a plane. Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane. F, G, H, and I are coplanar. F, G, H, and J are also coplanar, but the plane is not drawn. F,G, and H are coplanar in addition to being collinear. G, I, and K are non-coplanar and non-collinear.
Intersecting Planes The intersection of these two planes is shown by line A B If two planes intersect, they intersect along exactly one line. As another example, picture the intersections of the four walls in a room with the ceiling or the floor. You can imagine a line laying along the intersections of these planes.
Through any three non-collinear points there is exactly one plane.
Example Name the following points: A point not in plane HIE A point not in plane GIE Two points in both planes Two points not on
