Build your Understanding
Line Segment
When we join two points A and B together, a straight line segment
AB is formed. A and B are called the endpoints. Line segments is denoted by
´
AB or BA´
Line
If we extend he line segment AB in figure 8.2 in both directions
indefinitely, we get a line.
A line can be written as:
´ for example 1
AB
Or
line m for example 2
Ray
If AB is extended in the direction of point B, a ray is formed, This ray
is denoted by AB. Point A is called the endpoint of the ray.
Intersecting Lines
In line AB and PQ intersect at a common point J. We say that AB and
PQ intersect and J is called the point of intersection.
Midpoint of a line segment
The midpoint of a segment divides it into two congruent segments.
If ´ is a line and C is its midpoint then
AB ´
AC = ´
CB
Bisector of a line segment
A bisector of a line segment is a line, segment, ray or a plane that intersects
the segment at its midpoint
Remember:
In Geometric figures two segments are shown to be congruent by marking them with the same number of small perpe
Determining all possible line, line segments and rays.
A given line should be observe part by part to be able to determine all the
possible line, line segment and rays of a given line.
Example.
1. All possible lines: ḾA , ´ ,
AT ´
MT
2. All possible segments: , ḾA , ´ ,
AT ḾT
3. All possible Rays: MT, AT, TM, AM
Activity #1: Points, Line Segments, Lines and Rays
A. Match each vocabulary word on the left with its definition on the right. Write the
correct letter of the correct answer before the number.
________1. Line A. A straight line that
goes on forever in
one direction
________2. Line Segment B. A straight line that
goes forever on
both directions
________3. Ray C. A part of a line that
has two endpoints.
B. Tell whether each figure below is a line, line segment or a ray
C. Construct the following Geometric Figure
Draw a line segment AB here Draw a ray CD
Draw a line EF Draw line AB with C as its
midpoint
Draw intersecting liens AB and
CD with K as its intersecting
points
Enrichment
Distance
The distance is the measurement of one point to another point. The distance
AB between to points A and B with coordinates of a and b, respectively is given by
the absolute value a – b.
AB=|a−b|∨|b−a|
B C D E0
-4 -3 -2 -1 00 1 2 3
1. The distance between A and C is given by:
AC=|a−c|∨|c −a|
AC =|−4−−1|
AC =|−3| so AC =3
2. The distance between D and E
AC =|d−e|∨|e−d|
AC =|1−3|
AC =|−2|
AC=2
Segment Addition Postulate
If point M is between points A and B, then
AM + MB = AB
The points A, M and B are called collinear points
A M B
because they line on one line.
-2 3 10 Note also that point M is between points A and B.
To find the length of AM, MB, and AB
AM =|−2−3| MB=|3−10| AB=|−2−10|
¿|−5| ¿|−7| ¿|−12|
¿5 ¿7 ¿ 12
Or
AB=AM + AB
AB =12
