6.1 Relating Lines to Planes
Preliminary Concepts
1. A plane is a surface such that if any two points on the surface are connected by a line,
all points of the line are also on the surface.
2. Planar vs. Non-Coplanar
A surface that is not a plane.
A plane surface.
The foot of the line.
• The point of intersection of a line and a plane is called the
foot of the line.
A postulate says to 3 theorems:
“Here’s how to determine a plane!”

Postulate: Three noncollinear points determine a plane.
Th 45: A line and a point not on the line determine a plane.
Th 46: Two intersecting lines determine a plane.
Th 47: Two parallel lines determine a plane.
Two Postulates Concerning
Lines and Planes
• Postulate: If a line intersects a plane not containing it, then
the intersection is exactly one point.
• Postulate: If two planes intersect, their intersection is exactly
one line.
