Terms in Geometry:

• Point: A particular location. Points have no size. They are named with 1 letter.

• Line: Lines extend indefinitely, and have neither thickness nor width.

• Please name the line above in three ways.

1) _______________________________

2) _______________________________

3) _______________________________

• Collinear: points on the ______________ line

 • Plane: A flat, two-dimensional surface that extends indefinitely in all directions and
having no thickness.

• Please name the plane above in two different ways.

1) ________________________________

2) ________________________________

• Coplanar : points on the ______________ plane

Ex #1: Please use the figure to name each of the following.

a) A line containing point A

b) A plane containing point C

c) A point collinear with points A and C.

Ex #2: Name the geometric shape modeled by each object (either point, line, or plane).

a) a 10 × 12 patio

b) a telephone wire

c) a star in the sky

Intersections of Lines and Planes:

The intersection of two geometric figures is the set of all points they have in common.

Ex#3: Please draw a plane. Then, draw one line on the plane. Finally, draw a second line
through the plane, that intersects the first line. (Like a pencil through a sheet of paper.)

Ex #4: Please draw and label a figure for each relationship.

!##" !##"
a) Lines AB and CD intersect at point P.

b) TU lies in plane Q and contains point R.
Ex#5: Please refer to the figure below to answer the following questions.

Create an equation with the line segments above: ____ + ____ = _____

Ex #1: Find y and QP if P is between Q and R, QP 2y , QR 3y 1, and PR 21.

Algebra – Distance Formula
The video covers the following exercises. Please print this sheet and work along!

Please find the distance between (5, -1) and (11, 7).

Please find the distance between (2, 2) and (5, -1).

Please find the value of ‘a’, for the points (4, 7) and (a, 3), when the distance between
the points is 5.
Distance classwork
Ex #1: Use the number line to find each measure

a) KM b) JM

c) KL d) JL

Notice how the space between the points is technically the difference between the numbers?

On a Coordinate Plane

o Method 1 – Pythagorean Theorem

Graph points
a2 b2 c2
2 2
o Method 2 – Distance formula d x2 x1 y2 y1

Ex #2: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between each pair of points.

a) R(5, 1), S(-3, -3) b) E(-4, 1), F(3, -1)

Ex #3: Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between each pair of points.

a) D (-5, 6), E (8, -4) b) G (2, 0), H (8, 6)

c) J (0, 0), K (6, 8) d) K (6, 8), J (0, 0)

Did you notice that problems c) and d) were the same points in reverse? This means that the
distance between J and K is the same as the distance between K and J.

In other words, it doesn’t matter what point is used for x1 and y1. That’s good news!

Also think about this: the formula squares the difference. Isn’t it true that:

8–5≠5–8

But

(8 – 5)² = (5 – 8)²

Midpoint classwork
Definition of The midpoint between two points is their “average” x and y values. That
Midpoint would make sense, because the average is right in the middle!
