LINES, RAYS, AND PLANES
Lines, rays and planes are all around us. Let’s look at each one and see if we can find examples in our environment.
LINES What are lines? Lines are long, thin continuous marks.
We name and identify lines by using points on the lines. A F AF H G GH
There are 3 main types of lines. PARALLEL LINES PERPENDICULAR LINES INTERSECTING LINES
PARALLEL LINES What are parallel lines? Parallel lines are always the same distance apart and never touch.
Can you name parallel lines in the diagram below? A B E C D F AG and BH CE and DF H G
PERPENDICULAR LINES What are perpendicular lines? Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect (cross) and make 4 right angles.
Can you name perpendicular lines in the diagram below? A B C D E AF and BC AF and DE F
INTERSECTING LINES What are intersecting lines? Intersecting lines cross one another but never form right angles. Intersecting lines can resemble an ‘X’.
Can you name intersecting lines in the diagram below? B A C CD and AE CD and BF F E D
RAYS What are rays? Rays are lines that have a definite starting point but no end. Rays continue on endlessly in one direction.
Can you name any rays in the diagram below? A B C D E F FA and ED
PLANE What is a plane?(We are not talking about the one that flys in the sky). A plane is a flat surface. It is named by at least 3 points. A C This is plane ABC. B
