Lesson 1: Points, Lines and Planes

Definitions

Point- represents a location Line- made up of points and has no thickness or

width, extends infinitely at both ends (cannot be measured)

Collinear- points on the same line Plane- flat surface made from points that has no

depth and extends in all directions infinitely Coplanar- points or lines on the same plane Space- boundless, 3-D set of all points that contains

lines and planes

Chapter 1 Foldable

Step 1- fold the construction paper in half both by width and length (hamburger and hotdog)

Step 2- Unfold the paper and hold width wise, fold in the ends until they meet at the center crease

Step 3- Cut the folded flaps along the crease so that there are now 4 flaps

Upper Left flap- Lesson 1.1 Points, Lines and Planes

Label the outside of the flap with the lesson number and title.

Inside the flap create a grid with 7 columns and 4 rows.

Copy the notes into the foldable, then draw and label your own examples based on the information in the chart.

1.2 Linear Measure

Chapter 1: Tools of Geometry

Definitions

Line segment- part of a line that has two endpoints and can be measured(named by the letters marking the endpoints)

Congruent- same shape and size (segments that have the same measure)

A. Find LM.

B. Find XZ.

C. Find x and ST if T is between S and U, ST = 7x, SU = 45, and TU = 5x – 3.

Find SE.

Find a if AB = 4a + 10, BC = 3a – 5, and AC = 19.

Lesson 3: Distance and Midpoint

Definitions

Midpoint- the point on a segment that divides the segment into two congruent segments

Segment bisector- any line, segment or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint

Distance and Midpoint

Distance Formula- used to find the length of a segment.

ex: Find the distance between A (5,1) and B (-3, -3).

*on a number line- subtract the endpoint values

Midpoint Formula- used to find the point half way down a segment

ex: Find the midpoint of JK if J(-1,2) and K(6, 1)

* on a number line- add the endpoint values and divide by 2

Find LM. Assume that the figure is not drawn to scale.

Find the value of x and ST if T is between S and U, ST = 7x, SU = 45, and TU = 5x – 3.

Lesson 4: Angle Measure

Definitions Degree- the unit of measurement for an angle Ray- a part of a line which has one endpoint and one end that

extends infinitely (name with the endpoint first and then any other point on the ray)

Opposite rays- two rays that share an endpoint and extend in opposite directions (together they make a line)

Angle- formed by two non-collinear rays that have a common endpoint

Sides of an angle- rays Vertex- the common endpoint of the rays of an angle Angle Bisector- a ray or line that divides an angle into two

congruent angles

Naming and Classifying Angles

Angle:

-B is the vertex

-ray BA and ray BC are the sides( BA and BC )

-Angle names:

A. Name all angles that have B as a vertex.

B. Name the sides of 5.

Lesson 5: Angle Relationships

Definitions Adjacent angles: two angles that lie in the same plane, have a

common vertex and a common side, but no common interior points

Vertical angles: two nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines

Linear pair: a pair of adjacent angles with non-common sides that are opposite rays

Complementary angles: two angles with measures that add up to 90

Supplementary angles: two angels with measures that add up to 180

Perpendicular ( ): lines, segments or rays that form right angles
