Point, Line, Plane NamingAuthor:Anesa Harris, cprystalskiTopic:Geometry, PlanesUndefined terms: A point is a location and is named by a capital letter. A line is made up of points and has no thickness or width. It is named with two letters representing points on the line, or a lowercase script letter. A plane is an infinite flat surface made up of points and is named by a capital script letter or by three letters representing non collinear points on a plane. Collinear points can be contained on a line. Coplanar points can be contained on a plane.FIRST DIAGRAM: Drag the diagram around by moving the points (you can even make it spin!).GeoGebra

1. Name 3 collinear points. (Turn the diagram if needed)

6. If possible, draw a line through E and C. Are E and C collinear?

Select all that apply
  • A

    yes

  • B

    no

7. If possible, draw a line through E, G, and C. Are E, G, and C collinear?

Select all that apply
  • A

    yes

  • B

    no

8. If possible, name two points that are non collinear, because you CANNOT draw a line through them.

9. If possible, draw a plane through D, B, and F. Are D, B, and F coplanar?

𝜋Check my answer

10. If possible, draw a plane through A, G, E, and B. Move the diagram around to see if the four points are on the plane. Are A, G, E, and B coplanar?

𝜋Check my answer

11. If possible, name 3 points that are NOT coplanar, because you CANNOT draw a plane through them.

𝜋Check my answerSECOND DIAGRAM: Use points F, D, and E to drag the rectangular prism around. Then answer the following questions. GeoGebra
