Chapter 6 Flashcards
(10 cards)
plane
a flat surface
four ways to determine a plane
three noncolinear points
a line and a point not on the line
two intersecting lines
two parallel lines
colinear
on the same line
noncolinear
not on the same line
if a line intersect a plane not containing it
then it intersects the plane at exactly one point
foot
point of intersection of a line and a plane coplanar on the same plane
if two planes intersect
then their intersection is exactly one line
if a line is perpendicular to a plane
then it is perpendicular to every line that passes through its foot
two types of perpendicularity
between 2 lines segs or rays
between a line and a plane
if a line is perpendicular to two distinct lines that lie in a plane and pass through its foot
then it is perpendicular to the plane
