See if you can break them down into their roots. Use the internet if you need help. 1.2 Points, Lines, and Planes Geometry is based on the fact that points, lines, and planes have no definitions It is upon these words that the basic structures of geometry are built. Each of these structures has a unique way in which we write them. Consider the following example: Some examples from the diagram to the right: 1. 3 points: J, A, and K 2. A line containing H and I: HI 3. A plane: plane GHI 4. A segment with K and G as endpoints: KG 5. A ray starting at A and passing through J: AJ Directions: For #s 1 – 6, write each of the following using the appropriate symbols: 1. The segment with endpoints T and S 2. The ray that begins at R and passes through P 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Draw a line that passes through A, B, and C. Name it using appropriate symbols. 8. Draw a line segment and name it two different ways. 1.2 Points, Lines, and Planes (cont.) Directions: For #s 9 – 12, sketch the following: 9. Draw ST 10. Draw AB 11. Draw J 12. Draw NB Directions: Problems 13 – 22 refer to the picture to the right 13. Name four points. 14. Name three lines. 15. Name three rays. 16. Name two segments that contain I 17. Name two lines that contain J 18. Name a plane. 19. Name the point that is between J and I 20. Name that point that is common to three lines. 21. Name three non-collinear points 22. Name three collinear points 23. Use the idea of a line segment to describe a triangle. 24. Use the idea of a line segment to describe a six-sided figure 25. Draw a figure with points B, C, D, E, F, and G that shows lines CD , BG , and EF , with C on all three lines. Directions: For #s 26 – 28, how many different lines can you create that contain at least 2 points? 26. 27. 28. 1.3 Naming Angles Angles have different parts and we name them in a certain way: The sides of an angle are the two rays that intersect: DG and DM are the sides of this angle The vertex of an angle is the point where the two sides meet: D is the vertex of this angle You name an angle using 3 points where the vertex of the angle must go in the middle: this angle is called GDM or MDG . Sometimes angles are numbered and it’s OK to use that number. We can also call this angle 1 . Part I: Place a word from the list below in each of the blank spaces in the paragraph. (Each word is used only once) Vertex Sides Three Rays Vertex Angle Vertex An _______________________ is formed when two rays meet at their endpoints. The two _________________ intersect to form an angle called the _________________ of the angle. The endpoint where the two rays intersect is called the ______________________ of the angle. An angle is named using ____________________ points: one point on one of its sides, then the ______________________, and a point on the other side. The ____________________ is always the second point used to name the angle. Part 2: Draw the following angles: 1. TVE 2. TEV 3. ETV 4. For the angle in question 3, how many different ways could you correctly name it? 1.3 Naming Angles (cont.) Part III. Name the numbered angles in each drawing. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 1.4 Midpoints and Bisectors A midpoint is a point that cuts a line segment into 2 congruent parts. A bisector is a more general term for a ray, line, or line segment that divides something else into 2 congruent parts. Ex: Suppose AB bisects Ex: Suppose M is the midpoint CAD . If mCAD 60 , then, mCAB mBAD 30 of AB . If AB = 6 cm, then AM = MB = 3cm 1. Explain what a midpoint is. Draw a diagram that contains a midpoint and mark it appropriately to show that the point you drew is actually a midpoint. 2. Explain what a segment bisector is. 3. Explain what an angle bisector is. Directions: For #s 4 – 7, sketch the following pictures and be sure to mark them appropriately. 4. AB bisects CD 5. HK bisects PHR 6. M is the midpoint of TV 7. GH bisects BX at H Directions: For #s 8 – 14, answer the following questions based on this diagram. 8. Name a ray 9. Name a line 10. Name a segment 11. Name the segment bisector 12. Name a midpoint 13. Name a point that is not a midpoint 14. Name an angle 1.4 Midpoints and Bisectors (cont.) Directions: For #s 15 – 18, answer the following questions based on this diagram. 15. Name the angle bisector 16. Name the angle that is being bisected 17. What is mTPK ? 18. What is P called? Often times, we want to describe points that aren’t necessarily midpoints. The segment addition postulate says that if C is a point on AB , then AC CB AB Ex: Since AC+ CB = AB, we know that AB = 7 cm. 19. If C is a point on AB and AC = 3 in and CB = 1.5 cm, find AB. 20. If C is a point on AB and AB = 12 mm, and AC = 8 mm, find CB. 21. If E is a point on DF and DE = x + 2, EF = 8, and DF = 15, find the value of x. 22. If E is a point on DF and DE = 3x and, EF = 6, and DF = 24, find DE. 1.5 Measuring Angles and Segments To use a protractor to measure an angle, place the protractor over the angle as shown. You’ll usually have to choose between 2 angle measures, one that is acute and one that is obtuse. Choose the one that makes sense with the angle you’re measuring: To use a ruler to measure a segment in inches, remember that each tick mark is 1/16 of an inch. Notice that the segment below is 2 inches long and then an extra 8 tick marks. Therefore, the line segment is 2 and 8/16 inches long or 2.5 inches stated more simply. This angle is roughly 75 degrees Directions: Measure the following angles and segments (in inches). If you don’t have a protractor and ruler, use the ones above to estimate your answers. 3. 2. 1. 5. 4. 6. 1.5 Measuring Angles and Segments (cont.) Directions: For #s 7 – 11, use the diagram below.

A valid argument is one when the conclusion reached follows from the givens. An invalid argument is one when the conclusion reached does not follow from the givens and can be disproved using a counterexample. Example of a Valid Argument (1) If it is July, I am not in school (2) It is July Example of a Invalid Argument (1) If it is July, I am not in school (2) I am not in school Conclusion: I am not in school Conclusion: It is July (Counterexample: It is August) Deductive Reasoning Use the following statements to reach a valid conclusion. 1. All elephants are mammals. All mammals have hair. Conclusion: 2. All jumbos are mumbos. All mumbos are gumbos. Conclusion: 3. If it rains, then the grass will grow. It rains. Conclusion: 4. If you study hard, then you will succeed. Susan studies hard. Conclusion: 5. All Greeks are good mathematicians. Conclusion: 6. All squares are rectangles. The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. Conclusion: Pythagoras was Greek. 1.7 Deductive Reasoning (cont.) 7. Jody lives a mile and a half farther from school than Jing does. Jing lives 5 miles from school. Conclusion: 8. Paul is definitely taller than Karl is. Karl is 5 ft. 9 in. tall. Conclusion: 9. No juniors ordered a yearbook. Conclusion: 10.
