Examples.
Naming Segments and Rays
Name the segments and rays in the figure.The labeled points in the figure are
A
,
B
,and
C
.A segment is a part of a line consisting of two endpoints and all pointsbetween them.A segment is named by its two endpoints.So thesegments are and .A ray is a part of a line consisting of one endpoint and all the points of the line on one side of that endpoint.A ray is named by its endpoint first,followedby any other point on the ray.So the rays are and.
Identifying Parallel and Skew Segments
Use the figure at right.Name all segments that are parallel to .Name all segments thatare skew to .Parallel segments lie in the same plane,and the lines that contain themdo not intersect.The three segments in the figure that are parallel toare ,and .Skew segments are segments that do not lie in the same plane.The foursegments in the figure that do not lie in the same plane as are ,,and .
Identifying Parallel Planes
Identify a pair of parallel planes in your classroom.Planesareparallelifthey.Ifthewallsofyourclassroomare vertical,walls are parts of parallel planes.If the ceiling andfloor oftheclassroomarelevel,theyarepartsofparallelplanes.
