1. Points, Lines, and Planes
Sign In
Example Solution: BC and DE
In this exercise we want to use the given diagram to name two lines. Lines in the plane are represented by a line segment with arrows on both ends. We can identify two lines in the diagram: one that goes through points B and C, and one that goes through points D and E. Let's consider the given diagram and mark these lines and points.
We can use any two points on a line to name it. Point B and C are on the first line, so we can name it BC. The order of B and C does not matter and is, therefore, an arbitrary choice. By the same principle, one name for the second line is DE.
