    3 Points, Lines, and Planes


    Objective 1: Learning Terms and Postulates of Geometry

    The following table describes three undefined terms of Geometry, how to name these terms, and
    gives an example of each.

    A point has no dimension Name a point by a

    location or position.
    A line extends in opposite Name a line by a

    A plane extends in two Name a plane by a

    The two dimensions are or by any three

    plane by a flat surface. the same line).

    Collinear points are points that lie on the same line.

    Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane.

    a. Use the figure shown below to answer the following questions:

    i. Name two other ways to name line .

    ii. Name two other ways to name plane C.

    iii. Name three collinear points.

    iv. Name four coplanar points.


    Space is the set of all points in three dimensions.

    A geometric figure is any nonempty subset of space.

    Another undefined term is between. In the figure below, points A, B, C, and D all lie on the same
    line. Point B is between points A and C as well as between points A and D.

    However, in the next figure, point B is not between points A and C because point B does not on the
    same line as points A and C.

    The following table describes some defined terms, how to name them, and gives an example of each.

    Definition How to Name It Example


    A line segment or simple Name a segment by
    segment is part of a line. It its end points:
    consists of two endpoints and (segment AB) or
    all the points between them.
    (segment BA)
    A ray is part of a line. It Name a ray by its
    consists of an endpoint and endpoint and any
    all points of the line on one other point on the
    side of the endpoint. ray. The order of
    the points is
    important here—
    list the endpoint
    first. (ray AB) is
    not the same as
    (ray BA)
    Opposite rays are two rays Name each
    that share the same endpoint opposite ray as you
    and form a line. would name a ray.

    Postulate: Two Points Determine a Line


    Through any two points there is exactly one line.
    In the figure below, line t passes through points A and B. Line t is the only line that passes through
    both points.
    The intersection of two or more geometric figures is the set of points that the figures have in
    common.

    Postulate: Intersection of Lines


    If two distinct lines intersect, then they intersect at exactly one point.
    In the figure below, lines m and n intersect at point C.

    b. Use the figure shown below to answer the following:

    i. Name five points.

    ii. Name three rays.

    iii. Name four segments.

    iv. Name a pair of opposite rays.

    v. Are rays and opposite rays?

    Postulate: Intersection of Planes


    If two distinct planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line.
    In the figure below, plane RST and plane WST intersect in line .
    Postulate: Three Noncollinear Points Determine a Plane
    Through any three noncollinear points there is exactly one plane.
    Points Q, R, and S are noncollinear. Plane P is the only plane that contains them.

    Hint: Do not forget the three points must be noncollinear. If the three points are collinear, many
    planes will pass through the three points!

    c. Use the figure below to answer the following questions:

    i. Name the intersection of planes QRS and TGF.

    ii. Name the intersection of planes HEF and SER.

    iii. Name two planes that intersect in line .

    iv. Name the intersection of planes TSF and HES.

    v. Name a point that is coplanar with Q, T, and G.

    vi. Name a point that is coplanar with R, S, and G.

    d. Plot the points on a coordinate plane and state whether they appear to be collinear or not.
    i. (0, 0), (-3, 4), (5, -3)
    ii. (-1, -1), (2, 2), (4, 4)
