Draw and label plane DOGS
Work together in pairs: Q: What is a plane in geometry, and can you name an example?
Which of the following statements is true about collinear points?
- Collinear points are always equidistant from each other.
- Collinear points lie on the same line.
- Collinear points form a triangle.
Question: Given three points on a plane, how can you tell if they are collinear? Clues: • Remember that collinear points are all on the same line. • Look at the slope of the line connecting the points. • If the slope is the same, then the points are collinear. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Work in pairs to draw a set of three points that are collinear. B. Work in pairs to draw a set of three points that are noncollinear.
Which of the following statements is true about coplanar points?
- Coplanar points can be on different planes.
- Coplanar points lie on the same plane.
- Coplanar points are always collinear.
What is the maximum number of lines that can be drawn through two coplanar points?
What is the definition of collinear points?
