Geometric Concepts and Terms!

LT 1A: I can explain the di"erence between undened concepts (point, line, and plane) and terms (angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, line segment, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.) #I can draw and explain the denitions of these concepts. !

Investigate!
Draw the following description:! A line including points A and B lies in a plane.! A line including points B and C is perpendicular to the line containing points A and B.! !

I. Undened Concepts!
! A. In geometry, point, line, and plane are considered undened concepts, because they are only explained using examples and descriptions.!

I. Undened Concepts!
! 1. Point: An exact location in space (has no size).!
! We represent points using dots and capital letters.! ! We name points by their letter.!

I. Undened Concepts!
! 2. Line: Innitely many points that extend forever in both directions. (always straight)!
! a. There is exactly one line through any two points.! ! b. How we name lines! ! i. by two points on the line! ! ii. by a lowercase script letter!
What are all of the ways to name this line?!

I. Undened Concepts!
! 3. Plane: a at surface made up of points that extends innitely (forever) in all directions.!
! A. There is exactly one plane through any three points not on the same line.! ! B. How we name planes!

!
!

! i. capital script (cursive) letter !

! ii. three points not on the same line!
What are all of the ways to name this plane?!

Term! Angle! Circle!

Key Characteristics!
A shape, formed by two lines or rays diverging from a common point (the vertex). ! a round plane gure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of points equidistant from a xed point (the center)! Opposite reciprocal slopes, intersect at right angles! have the same slope, never intersect! a piece of a line that is in between two points, named by endpoints! straight line distance, given by formula! distance around a curved arc (given by 2$r (angle/360)!

Diagram!

Perpendicular Lines! Parallel Lines! Line Segment! Distance Along a Line! Distance Around a Circular Arc!

II. Terms!
! Collinear: Points that lie on the same line are collinear.! ! Coplanar: Points or lines that lie on the same plane are coplanar.! ! Skew: Lines that are neither parallel nor intersect are skew. They lie in di"erent planes.!

Which points are collinear?! 9!
