Study Notes
Segments
- A segment is a portion of a line defined by two endpoints and all points in between.
Naming Segments
- To name a line segment, use the endpoints and place a line segment symbol above the two points.
Rays
- A ray begins at a point and extends infinitely in one direction, lacking measurable length.
Naming Rays
- Rays are named by stating the endpoint first, followed by a second point on the ray's path. The same endpoint and direction designate identical rays.
Opposite Rays
- Opposite rays share the same endpoint but extend in opposite directions, forming a straight line.
Naming Opposite Rays
- Named using two points, with the first as the endpoint, and the second as any point on the ray extending outward.
Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines are coplanar and do not intersect, maintaining a constant distance from each other.
Skew Lines
- Skew lines are non-coplanar; they are neither parallel nor do they intersect.
Parallel Planes
- Parallel planes are defined as planes that do not intersect.
Parallel Segments
- Parallel segments lie in the same plane and do not intersect in the lines that contain them.
Skew Segments
- Skew segments do not reside within the same plane, indicating their non-coplanarity.
Conditions for Parallel Planes
- Planes are considered parallel if they do not intersect.
