Geometry Grade 7

The document defines basic geometric concepts including points as having no dimensions, lines as infinite paths of points that can be straight or curved, and planes as flat surfaces that extend indefinitely. It also discusses properties such as parallel and perpendicular lines, rays and segments, and collinear and noncollinear points. Examples are provided to illustrate points, lines, and planes.

GEOMETRY

POINTS, LINES AND PLANES


GEOMETRY

Geometry is a branch of mathematics


concerned with the questions of
shape, size, relative position of
figures, and the properties of space.
Three Undefined Terms in Geometry

•Points
•Lines
•Planes
POINTS
A location in space suggests the idea of a
point. A point has no dimension, no width, no
length, and no thickness. It is represented by
a dot and is denoted by capital letters like
points A, B and C below.

A B C
LINES
A straight path suggests the idea of a line. A line is
consist of infinite points extending indefinitely in
opposite directions and is represented by opposite
arrows. It is named by any of its two points or by a
lowercase letter.
Example: Line AB is written as 𝐴𝐵 or 𝐵𝐴 or line m as
illustrated below.
𝒎
A B
Subsets or Parts of a Line
• RAY – a set of points on a line with an endpoint
and extends indefinitely on one direction.
Example: Ray DE or 𝐷𝐸
D E

• SEGMENT – a set of points on a line with two


endpoints.
Example: Line segment DE
D E
or 𝐷𝐸.
Parallel Lines

Two lines are parallel if:


• They are coplanar 𝑙1
• They do not intersect 𝑙2
• The distance between the
corresponding points of the
parallel lines are equal.
Example: 𝑙1 || 𝑙2
Perpendicular Lines

Two lines are perpendicular if:


𝑙3
• They are intersecting
• They form right angles. 𝑙4

Example: 𝑙3 || 𝑙4
PLANES

A flat surface suggests the idea of a plane. A


plane extends indefinitely in all directions. It has no
thickness but it has length and width. It is usually
represented by a four-sided figure and can be
named by at least three noncollinear points on it or
by using a single uppercase letter.
Example:

-PA I
E

R
D F
Q H
J
G

Plane DEFG or Plane Q Plane HIJ or Plane R


Collinear Points – are points contained or lying on
the same line
Noncollinear Points – are points which are not on
the same line.
m w - Points A and B are collinear
A B since they are both in line w.
- Points A and m are
noncollinear since they are
not on the same line.
Activity 1

Answer Book page 319 A. Identify if the


example is a point, line or plane.
