Building Blocks Of Gerometry Flashcards
What are the three basic figures in Geometry?
Point
Line
Plane
Undefined Figures
Figures that cannot be defined using any other figure
Define a point.
Names a location in space;
It has no thickness;
Named with a dot and an uppercase letter
Define a line
Straight path of points;
Has no thickness;
Extends infinitely in opposite directions;
Use two into to name a line
Define colinear points
Points on the same line
Define noncolinear points
Points that do not all lie on the same line
Define a plane.
A flat surface determined by 3 noncolinear points that extends infinitely in all directions and has no thickness
How do you name a plane?
Name a plane using 3 noncolinear points (in any order);
Or by using a cursively let that does not name a specific point on the plane
Coplanar
Points that lie on the Same plane
Non coplanar
Points that do not lie on the same plane
