Plane and Solid
Geometry

Foreword

Geometry is all around us! Consider the environment you are in right
now, everything that surrounds you has a shape, volume, surface area,
location, and other physical properties. Plane and Solid Geometry is one of
the major course subjects for those students who are pursuing a Bachelor of
Secondary Education major in Mathematics. This course covers the
fundamental concepts in Euclidean Geometry. The topics are discussed using
both deductive and inductive methods to conjecture definitions, corollaries,
postulates, and theorems. Solid Geometry is integrated with Plane Geometry
to lead the student to contemplate two-and three-dimensional figures and to
develop their ability to visualize spatial relationships. In other words, this
module helps the students develop the skills of critical thinking, problem-
solving, visualization, deductive reasoning, logical argumentation, and proving.
This material consists of two modules and each of them was subdivided
into two lessons: Basic geometric concepts and angles and their relationships.
These two modules are designed for the students to familiarize the significance
of each topic content.

Discussion

What is Geometry

Geometry is a branch of
mathematics that studies the size, shape,
and position of 2-dimensional shapes and
3-dimensional figures. Although ancient
Greek mathematician Euclid is typically
considered the “Father of Geometry,” the
study of geometry arose independently in
a number of early cultures.
Geometry is a word derived from
Greek. In Greek, “geo” means “earth” and
“metria” means “measure”.
Figure 1.1.1. Getty images/EyeEm
(Image retrieved from:
https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-geometry)

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the


measurement, properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces,
and, solids; broadly: the study of properties of given elements that remain
invariant under specified transformations. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary).
Geometry is in every part of a student’s curriculum from kindergarten
through 12th grade and continues through college and postgraduates' study.
Since most schools use a spiraling curriculum, introductory concepts are
revisited throughout the grades and advances in the level of difficulty as time
goes on. (Russell, Deb. Et al., 2018)

The Undefined terms

The Undefined terms are basic terms in geometry that cannot be


defined but can be described. Some undefined terms are points, lines, and
planes. These undefined terms form the basis of our study of the subject and
for defining other geometric terms.

Points, Lines, and Planes

A point is the simplest figure we study in geometry. It represents an


exact location in space. It could be represented by a dot, the tip of a newly
sharpened pencil, a particle of dust, or the full stop at the end of a sentence.
Page 3 of 33 Vision: A globally competitive university for science, technology, and environmental conservation.

and innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment. V0 07-15-2020

No.
4 Math115: Plane and Solid Geometry
Thus, a point has no dimension for it has no length, no size, no width, no height
nor thickness.
A point is named using a capital letter.
Example:
▪ A is read as “point A”
▪ B is read as “point B”
Suppose you connect points A and B with a line. This line could be extended
in both directions as shown in the figure.

Figure 2.1.2. Line

A line is a connection of collinear points that extends indefinitely in


either direction. It is drawn with arrowheads to indicate that it is continuously
going in opposite directions. A line can be represented by the edge of a table,
a stretched piece of thread, or a strand of hair. It can be named using any two
points on the line that are collinear. Collinear means lying on one line. Thus,
the figure above is named line ̅𝑨𝑩̅̅̅̅̅ or line 𝑩̅̅̅𝑨̅̅ and can be written in a symbol as
AB or BA. Note that the given figure of a line can also be named using a single
lower case letter such as line t.
If two points are joined by a straight line, the line, therefore, lies on a
flat surface called a plane. A plane can be represented by the top of a table,
the surface of a wall, or a ceiling. These surfaces show that a plane is flat but
they do not show that a plane extends indefinitely. Thus, a plane, just like
the point and line, is called an undefined term because it is not possible to
draw a picture of a plane that extends indefinitely. The given figures will show
how a plane is named. The arrows in the figure indicate that a plane can be
extended endlessly in all directions.

A plane may be named by a capital letter like plane P (but not
necessarily a point on the plane) or by any three given non-collinear but
coplanar points on the plane as plane ABC.

Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane.

Points, lines, and


planes are the undefined
terms used in plane
geometry which is the
study of properties and
relationships of points,
lines, and planes and of
figures that can be
represented on a plane.

Can you name


things you see around that
constitute points, lines,
and planes?

Table 4.1.1. Points, Lines, and Planes

Example 1: Name Points, Lines, and Planes


a. Give two other names for and for the plane
R.
b. Name three collinear points.
Name four coplanar points.

Solution:
a. Other names for are and line n. Other
names for plane R are SVT and Plane PTV.
b. Points S, P, and T lie on the same line, so they are collinear. Points, S,
P, and V lie in the same plane, so they are coplanar.
Remember that when we talk of a line in this lesson, we always refer to a
straight line.
The terms point and line were described above but were not defined.
Important terms in geometry are defined.
A definition is a statement, description, or meaning of a term stated
clearly and unambiguously so that all those using it will clearly understand it. It
is important to understand the meaning of a term or a concept that forms the
basis to draw understanding in all the other concepts or properties that contain
the term.
A good definition must possess four characteristics.
1. It names the term being defined.
Page 5 of 33 Vision: A globally competitive university for science, technology, and environmental conservation.

Mission: Development of a highly competitive human resource, cutting-edge scientific knowledge
and innovative technologies for sustainable communities and environment. V0 07-15-2020

No.
6 Math115: Plane and Solid Geometry
2. It places the term into a set or category.
3. It distinguishes the defined term from other terms without providing
unnecessary facts.
4. It is reversible.
In many textbooks, it is common to use the phrase “if and only if” in
expressing the definition of a term. For instance, we could define congruent
angles by saying that two angles are congruent if and only if” statement has the
following dual meaning:
“If two angles are congruent, then they have equal measures.”
“If two angles have equal measures, then they are congruent.”
Once defined terms have been described, they become the building
blocks for other terminology. In this lesson, primary terms are defined within
boxes, whereas related terms are often boldfaced and defined with statements.
Consider the following definition (see Figure 1.2)

Figure 1.1.4.. Line segment

This line can be described as line AC or line CA, line AB or line BA,
line BC or line CB, or line m. Although there are three given points on the
line, this line has an infinite number of points. The existence of the given points
on the line can partition the line into subsets, namely segment, and ray.

Definition:

A segment (or line segment) is a part of the line that has two
endpoints.

In the figure above, we have:


= (read as segment AB is the same as segment BA)
= (read as segment AC is the same as segment CA)
= (read as segment BC is the same as segment CB)

Symbolically, it is important to draw a small segment (bar) above the


two letters in naming a segment. Since the line segment has two endpoints, it
can be named starting from any of the endpoints. Likewise, the endpoints
indicate that the segment is measurable and is finite. Thus, segment AB refers
to all points from point A to point B only.

Definition:
A ray is a part of a line that has one endpoints and extends
infinitely in one direction.

In the given figure above, we have:

(read as ray AB)


(read as ray BA)
(read as ray AC)
(read as ray CA)
(read as ray BC)
(read as ray CB)

In naming a ray, it is important to draw a small ray above the two letters
pointing in the right direction. Although talking about segments,
= , ≠ because the emphasis in naming a ray starts from its
endpoint. Thus, the endpoint A while the endpoint of ray
BA is point B. However, = and = since the emphasis is on the
endpoint. The opposite rays BA and BC have the common endpoint but we
cannot say that ray BA = BC because they are in opposite direction.

Learning Tasks/Activities
I. Figures play an important role in understanding geometric concepts. It
is helpful to know what words and phrases can be used to describe
figures. Likewise, it is important to know how to read a geometric
description and be able to draw the figure it describes. Your task is to
write a description for each figure below on a short bond paper.

Lesson 1.2: Segments and Congruence

Lesson Summary
This lesson talks about the two important postulates in geometry which
are the Ruler and Segment Addition Postulate. These postulates will use to find
the lengths of segments and determine if segments are congruent.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this lesson, the student will be able to:
1. Find the lengths of segments using Ruler Postulate and Segment
Addition Postulate.
2. Identify congruent segments using segment postulate.

Motivation Question
What makes Segments Congruent?

Discussion

Segments and their Measure

In geometry, a rule that is accepted without proof is called a postulate or


axiom. A rule that can be proved is called a theorem.
POSTULATE
Postulate 1 Ruler Postulate
The points on a line can be
matched one to one with real
numbers. The real number that
corresponds to a point is the
coordinate of the point.

The distance between points A


and B, written as AB, is the
absolute value of the difference of
the coordinates of A and B.

In the diagram above, the small numbers in the coordinates x1 and x2


are called subscripts. The coordinates are read as “x sub one’ and x subtwo.”

The distance between points A and B, or AB, is called the length ̅𝐴𝐵̅̅̅̅̅.
The Ruler Postulate is helpful when trying to find the lengths of the
segments. We can find the lengths of the segments by looking at the distance
between the two points.

Example 1.2.1: Apply the Ruler Postulate


Measure the length of ̅𝑆𝑇̅̅̅̅̅ to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Solution:
Align one mark of a metric ruler with S. Then estimates the coordinate of T. For
example, if you align S with 2, T appears to align with 5.4.

𝑆𝑇̅̅̅ = |5.4 − 2| = 3.4 Use Ruler Postulate


➢ The length of ̅𝑆𝑇̅̅̅̅̅ is about 3.4 centimeters.

Adding Segment Lengths. When three points are collinear, you can say that
one point is between the other two.

POSTULATE
Postulate 2 Segment Addition Postulate
If B is between A and C, then AB + BC =
AC.
If AB + BC = AC
, then B is between A and
C.

Example 1.2.2: Apply the Segment Addition Postulate


MAPS. The cities shown on the
map lie approximately in a
straight line. Use the given
distance to find the distance
from Lubbock, Texas, to St.
Louis, Missouri.

Solution:
Because Tulsa,
Oklahoma, lies between
Lubbock and St. Louis, you
can apply the Segment

Addition Postulate.

𝐿𝑆=𝐿𝑇̅̅̅+𝑇̅̅̅𝑆=380+360=740

➢ The distance from Lubbock


to St. Louis is about 740 miles.

Example 1.2.3. Connecting with Algebra


𝑹𝑺 = 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟏𝟎, 𝑺𝑻 = 𝒙 − 𝟒, 𝑹𝑻 = 𝟐𝟏

Find x:
𝑅𝑆 + 𝑆𝑇̅̅̅ = 𝑅𝑇̅̅̅
(2𝑥 + 10) + (𝑥 − 4) = 21
3𝑥 + 6 = 21
3𝑥 = 21 − 6
3𝑥 = 15
𝑥=5
Solve for RS and ST:
𝑅𝑆 = 2𝑥 + 10 𝑆𝑇̅̅̅ = 𝑥 − 4 𝑅𝑆 =
2(5) + 10 𝑆𝑇̅̅̅ = 5 − 4
𝑅𝑆 = 10 + 10 𝑆𝑇̅̅̅ = 1
𝑅𝑆 = 20

CONGRUENT SEGMENTS Line segments that have the same length are
called congruent segments. In the diagram below, you can say “the length of
̅𝐴𝐵̅̅̅̅̅ is equal to the length of ̅𝐶𝐷̅̅̅̅̅," or you can say “̅𝐴𝐵̅̅̅̅̅ 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑟𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 ̅𝐶𝐷̅̅̅̅̅." The
symbol ≅ means “is congruent to.”

In the diagram, the red tick marks indicate that ̅𝐴𝐵̅̅̅̅̅ ≅ ̅𝐶𝐷̅̅̅̅̅.

Example 1.2.3. Compare segments for congruence


Plot J(-3, 4), K(2,4), L(1,3), and M(1,-2) in coordinate plane. Then
determine whether ̅𝐽𝐾̅̅̅̅ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐿
̅ 𝑀̅̅̅̅̅ are congruent.
Solution:
To find the length of a horizontal segment, find
the absolute value of the difference of the x-
coordinates of the endpoints.

𝐽𝐾̅̅ = |2 − (−3)| = 5 Use Ruler Postulate.

To find the length of a vertical segment, find the


absolute value of the difference of the y-coordinates of
the endpoints.
𝐿𝑀̅̅̅ = |−2 − 3)| = 5 Use Ruler Postulate.

➢ ̅𝐽𝐾̅̅̅̅ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ̅𝐿𝑀̅̅̅̅̅ have the same length. So, ̅𝐽𝐾̅̅̅̅ ≅ ̅𝐿𝑀̅̅̅̅̅.

Learning Tasks/Activities
I. Point B is between A and C on AC. Use the information to write an
equation in terms of x. Then solve the equation and find AB, BC, and
AC. *Hint: Draw a picture.
a. 𝐴𝐵̅̅̅ = 13 + 2𝑥 b. 𝐴𝐵̅̅̅ = 8𝑥 + 5 𝐵̅̅̅𝐶 = 12 𝐵̅̅̅𝐶 = 5𝑥 − 9
