LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

This activity will help you grasp the lesson easily.

Make a table and look for a pattern to answer the following
questions.
1.) Put three points on a circle (as shown in the figure.)
Now connect the three points with as many lines as
possible. How many lines do you need?
2.) Put four points on another circle. How many lines can
you draw connecting four points?
3.) Repeat for five points on a circle and then for six points. How many lines can
you draw to connect the points?
4.) Tabulate your data. Can you see a pattern? What is the pattern? Based on
the pattern, can you tell how many lines could you draw to connect the ten
points?

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The Magic of Night Sky

Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, people who are

living under lockdown have looked up to notice a clearer and
magical night skies. The closure of some factories and
absence of cars in the street led to a drop in air pollution and revealed an
awe - inspiring stars that many living in suburban and urban areas missed.
In our loneliness because of ECQ, it helps us think that somewhere wherever
our loved ones are, they are looking at the same bright star in the sky.
Gazing at the vast night sky with sparkling stars, it can also help us
comprehend the love of God that is much bigger than the pandemic. And
you can say that all these things are just temporary.
What comes to your mind when you see a star in the sky? What lesson
in geometry can you connect the stars?

What are the undefined terms in Geometry?

Point, line, and plane are the three undefined terms in Geometry. They are the
simplest and the most fundamental terms. These three, form the basis of our study
of the subject although we do not have a clear-cut definition of these three terms.
They can only be described through examples. However, they can be used to define
other terms in geometry.

You can use the map of Manila to represent the undefined terms. If you live in
Binondo, you can represent yourself as a point in Binondo and your school in Padre Faura
as another point. The road you took from Binondo to Padre Faura will form a line. The map
as a whole will represent the plane.

POINT
∙ A or point A
 A point denotes a position in space and has
no dimension.
 It does not occupy an area.
 It does not have any width, length, or
depth.
 When represented by a dot it is named by a
capital letter.
 All geometric figures are consisting of points.
Although stars are large, but because they are so far from us, they appear small to
us so, we may think of them as point.
Name something in your surroundings that is a physical representation of a point.

Just the tip

Tip of a pencil or corner of a hoop

Tip of your finger board
tip of your nose drop of water
LINE
 A line is a series of points that extends in opposite directions without end.
 It does not have any width.
 It is named by any two of its points or by a single small letter near one of
the arrow heads.
⃡𝐴𝐵 or ⃡𝐵𝐴 (read as line AB or line BA)
⃡ the double headed arrow above the
In 𝐴𝐵
letters is a symbol for line. The small letter
near one of the arrowheads is not a point nor part of a line, you just use it to name
that line.
Describe some physical representations of lines in the real world.

Body of pencil

PLANE
 A plane is a flat surface.
 It extends indefinitely in all directions.
 It has no thickness and contains an infinite number
of points and lines.
 A plane is named by 3 or more capital letters
represented by the point on it or by any small letter
to represent the plane.
• You can name the given figure as plane m, (m is not a point on the plane,
but a letter used to name the plane) or plane ABC, or plane ABD, etc.
• Name some physical representation of a plane in your home.

Example:

If you look at the corner of a book, that represents a point. Edge of the book
represents a line and the pages of a book represents a plane.
• Points that lie on the same line are collinear.

Collinear points noncollinear points

Points A, B, C, D, and E on the left Points A, B, C, D, and E on the
above are collinear right above are noncollinear points

• Points and lines in the same plane are coplanar.

⃡ and 𝐸𝐹
𝐶𝐷 ⃡ are coplanar ⃡ is not coplanar
𝐴𝐵
because they lie on the with ⃡𝐶𝐷 because
same plane. they lie on different
plane
Point G and 𝐴𝐵 ⃡
are coplanar.
Example:
In the given figure on right:
a.) Which three points are collinear?
b.) Are points A, B, and C collinear?
c.) Are points A, B, C, and D coplanar?
Answer:
a.) Points D, E, and C are collinear because they lie on
the same line.
b.) No. They do not lie on the same line, rather they are
coplanar.
c.) No. Although points A, B, C lie on the same plane ABC, but only D does not,
then they are not coplanar.

as many ways as possible.
5.) Does ⃡𝐴𝐵 ends in B?
6.) Can a given point be in two lines?
7.) Are there more than 4 points in a plane?

9.) How many lines can contain one given point? Two given points?
10.) If three points do not lie on the same line, how many planes are
possible which contain all three points?

REMEMBER

 The three undefined terms are point, line, and plane

 A point denotes a position in space and has no dimension.
 A line is a series of points that extends in opposite directions
without end.
