3. LEARNING OBJECTIVE
At the end of the lesson, the students are
expected to:
•Define point, line and plane; and
•Represent point, line and plane using
concrete and pictorial models.
5. GEOMETRY
comes from two Greek words: geo, meaning
“earth” and metri, meaning “measurement”,
thus the word geometry means “earth
measurement”.
branch of mathematics which deals with the
sizes, shapes, positions and properties of all
things around us.
6. UNDEFINED TERMS IN GEOMETRY
There are three terms in geometry which we
refer to as undefined terms:
• point
• line
• plane
We classify these as undefined terms because
the definitions of these terms are not precise.
However, we can use concrete objects around us
to represent these ideas.
7. POINT
Represented by a dot (•)
Has no dimension or actual size
A point is usually named by a capital letter.
•A Read as Point A
•B Read as Point B
•W Read as Point W
9. LINE
Represented by a straight mark with two arrow heads
Has no thickness, but its length extends infinitely to both
directions
A line is named by a single lowercase script letter, or by
any two (or more) points which lie on the line.
• •
J D
m
Name: JD or DJ or m Read as: line JD, line DJ, and line m
11. PLANE
Has infinite length and width but has no thickness.
It is a flat surface.
A plane is named by a single script letter or by three
points in the plane that are not on the same line.
• X
•
• Y
Z
A
Read as: plane A or plane XYZ
