Undefined terms
In
GEOMETRY
geometry
Geometry just like any other
mathematical system is based
on undefined terms, unproven
statements and theorems.
UNDEFINED TERMS
Words that do not require
formal definition.
In geometry, there are three
undefined terms.
UNDEFINED TERMS
POINTS
LINE
PLANE
POINT
Stars
POINT
A point has no dimension or
actual size.
Thus, it has no length, no
width and no height
(thickness).
POINT
A point is usually named with
capital letter.
B A
D
C
POINT
We can associate point to our
real-life.
Example:
-Stars at night
-Point of a pen
POINT
Thin wire
line
A line has infinite length,
no width and no height
and it extends to one
dimension only.
line
A line is named by a single
lowercase script letter, or
by any two (or more)
points lie on the line.
l
A B
line
Line can also be exhibited
to real-life situation.
-Body of a pencil
-Curtain rod
line
BLANK PAPER
plane
A plane has two
dimension and it extends
indefinitely in all
directions. It has infinite
length, infinite width
and zero height.
plane
A plane is named by a
single letter (plane m) or
by three coplanar points,
but not non-collinear
point.
m
x
Plane m
y z
Plane XYZ
z
plane
We can also identify
plane to real-life object.
Example:
-Top of a table
-Book cover
assignment
In one whole sheet of a
yellow paper, draw three
real-life objects which
exhibit the three
undefined terms in
geometry.
COLLINEAR AND NON-COLLINEAR
POINTS
Where does points A,B lie?
How about point H, is
point H collinear with the
other three points? Why?
H
COplanar AND NON-Coplanar
Where can you locate
point K,L and M?
K p
When points lie on the L
same plane how will M
you describe them? O
Describe point N, is N
point N coplanar with
the other three points?
Below are figures representing points, lines and
planes/ identify whether it represents points, lines
and planes.
1. Edge of a ruler
2. The tip of a pen
3. A sheet of paper
4. Mongo seeds
5. A piece of a yarn
6. The floor of a classroom
7. Earings
8. The tip of a nail
9. A P1000.00
10. A broomstick
Goal:
To provide a sketch/ design of a cabinet/divider for the sala set of
your teacher
Role:
An architecture/designer
Audience:
Teacher and clasmates
Situation or scenario:
As an aspiring architect or designer you have to make a sketch and
design a cabinet/divider for the sala set of your teacher. The design
should show points, lines and planes. Be creative.
Products (performance) for the assessment:
Present your design to the class/ convince your teacher that you have
the best design of a cabinet
Standards for assessments: planning, creative. And justification
