Geometry Chapter 1 Section 1 (1.

1)

Work with a partner. Use dynamic geometry software to draw several

points. Also, draw some lines, line segments, and rays. What is the
difference between a line, a line segment, and a ray?

A line extends infinitely in both directions,

a line segment has two endpoints,
a ray has one endpoint and extends infinitely in one
direction.

Work with a partner.

a. Describe and sketch the ways in
which two lines can intersect or not
intersect. Give examples of each using
the lines formed by the walls, floor,
and ceiling in your classroom.
b. Describe and sketch the ways in
which a line and a plane can intersect
or not intersect. Give examples of
each using the walls, floor, and ceiling
in your classroom.
c. Describe and sketch the ways in
which two planes can intersect or not
intersect. Give examples of each using
the walls, floor, and ceiling in your
classroom.

Geometry Chapter 1 Section 1 (1.1)

undefined terms: terms that don't have formal definitions

point: represented by a dot
line: represented by a line with two arrows, extends
without end.
plane: repesented by a shape that looks like a floor or wall,
but extends without end
collinear points: points that are on the same line
coplanar points: points that are on the same plane

defined terms: terms that have a formal definition

endpoints: points at each end of a line segment
line segment or segment: consists of two endpoints
connected by a straight line
ray: begins at an endpoint, and extends infinitely in the other
direction
opposite rays: rays that have the same endpoint, but go in
opposite directions forming a straight line.
intersection: the point where two lines cross
