Geometry

OBJECTIVE

•represent point, line and plane using

concrete and pictorial models
•illustrate subsets of a line
•differentiate collinear from non-collinear
and coplanar from non-coplanar
Use the map to identify examples of
points, lines and planes.
UNDEFINED TERMS

POINTS
LINES
PLANES
point

- dot
- named by using a capital letter
- no length, width or thickness
line

- straight mark with two arrow heads.

- named by using two capital letters or by a
single lower case letter
- has infinite length but has no width and
thickness
plane

- four-sided flat figure

- named by using a single capital script letter or
three noncollinear points
- has infinite length and width, but no thickness;
flat surface
example
DETERMINE:
a. all the lines
b. all the points
c. the planes
 Determine if the following objects
represent a point, line or plane.
1. The screen of a monitor.
2. The surface of the page of a notebook.
3. The string on a guitar.
4. The ceiling of a room.
5. A broomstick.
6. Electric wire.
7. The floor.
8. Tip of a pencil.
example

Give your own example of

objects that represent point,
line and plane.
SUBSET OF A LINE

Observe the “ray of light”

and a “growing hair strand.”
Where can you associate it
among the three - point,
line or plane?
SUBSET OF A LINE
LINE SEGMENT

- has two endpoints

RAY

- has only one endpoint

- extends infinitely in one direction
COLLINEAR

Points lying on the

_____ line.
NONCOLLINEAR

Points that are

_____ lying on the
_____ line.
COPLANAR
Points lying on the
same __________.

NONCOPLANAR

Points that are

_____ lying on the
same __________.
examples
Name the points, lines, segments, and
rays in the figure.
examples
Name three collinear and non collinear
points.
Let’s try!
Name the points, segments, rays, in
the figure below.
Let’s try!
Name three points that are coplanar
and non coplanar.
Before we go…
1. What are the subsets or parts of
a line and how do you
differentiate them?
2. Is it possible to have two points
that are non collinear?
3. In your surroundings, can you
sight more examples of a ray?
