Coplanar Objects
Remember Any 3 non-collinear points
determine a plane!

• Coplanar objects (points, lines, etc.) are
  objects that lie on the same plane. The plane
  does not have to be visible.

Are the following points coplanar?
A, B, C ?
Yes
A, B, C, F ?
No
H, G, F, E ?
Yes
E, H, C, B ?

Example 3

• Point S is between point R and point T. Use the
  given information to write an equation in terms
  of x. Solve the equation. Then find both RS and
  ST.
• RS 3x 16
• ST 4x 8
• RT 60

MIDPOINT FORMULA
The midpoint of two points P(x1, y1) and Q(x2,
y2) is M(X,Y) M(x1 x2, x2 y2)

EXAMPLE 4
Identify angle pairs
SOLUTION
To find linear pairs, look for adjacent angles
whose noncommon sides are opposite rays.
To find vertical angles, look or angles formed
by intersecting lines.

Example 5

• Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of
  one angle is 5 times the measure of the other.
  Find the measure of each angle.

Example 6

• Given that m?5 60? and m?3 62?, use your
  knowledge of linear pairs and vertical angles to
  find the missing angles.
