The Key Building Blocks of Geometry

Points, Lines, Planes

Point

Labeled PointA

A point is thought of as a location in space without any dimension.

How come we can see it?It is only a model.

Equidistant Points

• Equidistant means… the same distance away.

HG I

Point H is equidistant from point G and H.

Points G and H are equidistant from point H.

Equidistant isOne of the most important concepts

in Geometry.

It is also one of the easiest.

Use your compass to determine

which points are

equidistant from A.

Point it out to me.

A line is thought of as a string of as consecutive points going in opposite directions.

It has no width, only length.

How come we can see it?It is only a model.

A line is labeled two ways…

Or by two points on a line.

L1

By using a letter and a subscript.

A B

AB

Name the line 7 different ways.

L1 A B C D

This can be a problem because their can be many alternate answers.

Lets agree to at least put the letters in alphabetical order.

Name the line in different ways.

How many more different ways can the line be name?Use your fingers to show your answer.

Intersecting Lines

Lines that cross each other at a point.

How many lines through 4 points?

L1 A B C D

These points are called collinear points because they are all in the same line

A

Types of Points?

These points are called non-collinear points because no line can contain them all.

Planes• Can be described as all points

that lie on a flat surface that has no edges.

• A plane extends infinitely in all directions.

Planes AB

Planes are named by a letter in the corner.

Planes 747B

Planes are named by a symbol that designates an airplane for fun.

Space• Is the final frontier.

Is the set of all points.

It’s everywhere. It’s everywhere !!!

C’est fini.

Good day and good luck.

The flat surfaces are models of planes.They do not extend for ever.
