9.1 Intro To Geometry

This document defines and provides examples of lines, rays, and line segments. It introduces the vocabulary used to identify these geometric shapes, including points, lines, rays, and segments. Examples are given to demonstrate naming different shapes formed by points. Readers are then asked to practice identifying and naming lines, rays, and segments based on diagrams.

1 Introduction to
Geometry
Identifying lines, rays, and
segments
VOCABULARY
Point – usually labeled with an uppercase letter.
Describes a specific location in space.
Line – points that extend without end in two opposite
directions
Read as: “line NO or line ON”
N
O
Symbol: NO or ON

Ray – has 1 endpoint and extends without end in one


direction. Always when naming give the endpoint
first. B Read as: “ray AB”
A Symbol: AB
Identifying lines, rays, and
segments continued….
Segment – a piece of a line which Read as: “line segment BE or
has two endpoints line segment EB”
● ● Symbol:
B E BE or EB

NOTE: You may have the points


at the end of the segment or
without.

Intersecting lines – two different lines that meet at a point


Q

T “Line TS intersects
S with line PQ”
P

segments continued….
Parallel lines – two different lines that will never
intersect no matter how far they extend.

line YZ.”
