Sec. 1 –4 Segments, Rays, Parallel Lines and Planes Objectives: 1) Identify segments and rays. 2) Recognize parallel lines.
2.
Line –A series of points that extend in 2 directions without end. Notation: 2 capital letters with a line over them. Ex: Reads: Line AB A B AB
3.
Segment –Is the part of a line consisting of two endpoints & all the points between them. Notation: 2 capital letters with a line over them. Ex: No arrows on the end of a line. Reads: Line segment (or segment) AB A B AB refers to the segment refers to the length of
4.
Ray –Is the part of a line consisting of one endpoint & all the points of the line on one side of the endpoint. Notation: 2 capital letters with a line with an arrow on one end of it. End point always comes first. Ex: Reads: Ray AB A B AB
5.
Opposite Rays – Are two collinear rays with the same endpoint. Opposite rays always form a line. Ex: Same Line Q R S RQ & RS Endpoints
6.
Ex.1: Namingsegments and rays. Name 3 segments: LP PQ LQ Name 4 rays: LQ QL PL LP PQ L P Q Are LP and PL opposite rays?? No, not the same endpoints Are LP and LQ different rays?? No, they the same same ray.
7.
Parallel Lines – Are coplanar lines that never intersect. Coplanar – same plane Symbol [ // ] Ex: r // t Reads: line r is parallel to line t. r t
8.
Skew Lines – Are noncoplanar lines that never intersect. Skew lines are never // Parallel Planes – Are planes that do not intersect. A B C D E F G H
9.
What would youcall two lines which do not intersect? Parallel A solid arrow placed on two lines of a diagram indicate the lines are parallel. The symbol || is used to indicate parallel lines. AB || CD
10.
A slash throughthe parallel symbol || indicates the lines are not parallel. AB || CD
11.
Skew Lines – Two lines are skew if they are not in the same plane and do not intersect. AB does not intersect CD . Since the lines are not in the same plane, they are skew lines.
For the rectangularbox shown below, find All lines skew to GF. Segments HE, AD, and BC are || or in the same plane. Segments GH, EF, BG and CF intersect and are in the same plane. These segments are not skew to GF.

1-3 Use thefigure below. Name all segments that are parallel to AE . Name all segments that are skew to AE . Parallel segments lie in the same plane, and the lines that contain them do not intersect. The three segments in the figure above that are parallel to AE are BF , CG , and DH . Skew lines are lines that do not lie in the same plane. The four lines in the figure that do not lie in the same plane as AE are BC , CD , FG , and GH .
What have welearned?? Name the following line. Name a segment. Name a ray. X Y Z XY or YZ or ZX XY or YZ or XZ XY or YZ or ZX or YX

Parallel Lines ~ coplanar lines that do not intersect Skew Lines ~ noncoplanar They are not parallel & they do not intersect Same direction & Same plane Different direction & Different plane Lines that do not intersect may or may not be coplanar.
