Step-by-step solution for: Points, Lines - Planes online exercise for
Let’s go step by step to match each geometry term with the correct picture.
We’ll look at what each term means and then find the matching image.
---
1. CD with an arrow over it (→)
This is a ray that starts at point C and goes through D, extending forever in one direction.
Look for a line that starts at C and has an arrow pointing toward D.
✔ That matches the second box on the right — the one labeled “C” at the start and “D” with an arrowhead.
*(Note: The red line already drawn in the worksheet connects #1 to this image — so we’re confirming that’s correct.)*
---
2. Line AB
A line goes on forever in both directions. It should have arrows on BOTH ends.
Look for a straight line with points A and B on it, and arrows on both sides.
✔ That’s the last box on the right — labeled “B” and “A” with arrows on both ends.
---
3. Ray AB
A ray starts at point A and goes through B, extending forever in one direction. So it should have a starting point at A and an arrow going toward B.
✔ Look for a line that starts at A and has an arrow pointing to B.
That’s the seventh box from the top on the right — labeled “A” at the start, “B” at the end with an arrow.
Wait — let’s double-check the images:
Actually, looking again:
The third image down on the right is just a dot labeled P — that’s not it.
Fourth image: segment CD — no arrows.
Fifth: plane with points A, B, C — too many points.
Sixth: line CD with arrows on both ends — that’s a line, but labeled C and D.
Seventh: starts at A, goes to B with arrow — YES! That’s Ray AB.
So #3 → seventh box.
---
4. CD with a bar over it (—)
This is a line segment — it has two endpoints, C and D, and does NOT extend. No arrows.
✔ That’s the fourth box on the right — solid line between C and D, no arrows.
---
5. Point P
A point is just a dot, usually labeled with a letter.
✔ Third box on the right — single dot labeled “P”.
---
6. Line Segment AB
Again, a segment has two endpoints, no arrows.
Look for a line between A and B with no arrows.
✔ Eighth box? Wait — let’s check:
Box 8: labeled B and A, but has arrows? No — wait, box 8 is actually the bottom one: labeled B and A, with arrows on both ends? No — let me re-express:
Actually, let’s list the right-side boxes clearly from top to bottom:
Right column (top to bottom):
1. Line with arrows both ends, labeled A and B → this is Line AB
2. Ray starting at C, arrow to D → Ray CD
3. Dot labeled P → Point P
4. Segment between C and D → Segment CD
5. Plane with points A, B, C → Plane ABC
6. Line with arrows both ends, labeled C and D → Line CD
7. Ray starting at A, arrow to B → Ray AB
8. Segment between A and B? Wait — no, box 8 is labeled B and A, but looks like it has arrows? Actually, looking back at original:
Wait — in the user’s image, box 8 (bottom right) shows a line from B to A with arrows on both ends? Or is it a segment?
Actually, let’s re-read the labels carefully based on standard notation.
In the problem:
#6 is “Line Segment AB” — so we need a segment (no arrows) between A and B.
Looking at the right-hand images:
- Box 7: starts at A, arrow to B → that’s Ray AB → matches #3
- Box 8: labeled B and A — if it has no arrows, it’s a segment. But in the image description, it might be ambiguous.
Wait — perhaps I made a mistake earlier.
Let me re-map all correctly using standard definitions:
Standard Geometry Notation:
- Line AB: written as ↔AB or just "Line AB" — infinite in both directions → must have arrows on both ends.
- Ray AB: written as →AB — starts at A, goes through B → arrow only on B side.
- Segment AB: written as —AB or AB with bar — finite, two endpoints, no arrows.
- Point P: just a dot.
- Plane ABC: flat surface with at least 3 non-collinear points.
Now, let’s assign each number:
1. →CD → Ray starting at C, going through D → matches image #2 on right (C to D with arrow)
2. Line AB → infinite both ways, labeled A and B → image #1 on right (arrows both ends, A and B)
3. Ray AB → starts at A, goes through B → image #7 on right (starts at A, arrow to B)
4. —CD → segment between C and D → image #4 on right (solid line C to D, no arrows)
5. Point P → dot labeled P → image #3 on right
6. Line Segment AB → segment between A and B, no arrows → which image is that?
Looking at remaining images:
Image #8: labeled B and A — if it’s a segment, it should have no arrows. In the original image, box 8 appears to be a segment? Or does it have arrows?
Actually, in the user’s uploaded image, the bottom-right box (#8) shows a line from B to A with arrows on both ends? Or not?
Wait — let’s think differently. Perhaps box #8 is meant to be Segment AB.
But in the initial setup, box #1 on right is Line AB (arrows both ends), box #7 is Ray AB (start A, arrow B), so Segment AB must be another one.
Wait — there’s also box #8: if it’s labeled A and B with no arrows, that’s it.
But in the image provided in the question, the eighth box (bottom right) is described as having points B and A — and in many such worksheets, that would be the segment.
Alternatively, maybe I missed one.
Let’s count the right-hand boxes again:
There are 8 boxes on the right.
List them with likely identities:
Top to bottom:
1. Arrows both ends, labeled A and B → Line AB → matches #2
2. Start C, arrow to D → Ray CD → matches #1
3. Dot P → Point P → matches #5
4. Solid line C to D → Segment CD → matches #4
5. Plane with A,B,C → Plane ABC → matches #7
6. Arrows both ends, labeled C and D → Line CD → not used yet? But we don’t have “Line CD” in left list. Left list has only up to #8, and #8 is →CD again? Wait no.
Left list:
1. →CD
2. Line AB
3. Ray AB
4. —CD
5. Point P
6. Line Segment AB
7. Plane ABC
8. →CD ??? Wait, #8 is also →CD? That can’t be.
Wait — looking back at user input:
In the original problem, item #8 is written as “CD” with an arrow over it — same as #1? That must be a typo or misread.
Actually, in the user’s text:
> 8 $\overrightarrow{CD}$
Same as #1? That doesn’t make sense.
Perhaps it’s a different notation.
Wait — in some notations, $\overrightarrow{CD}$ is ray from C to D, and maybe #8 is something else.
But in the user’s message, it says:
> 8 $\overrightarrow{CD}$
Exactly the same as #1.
That must be an error. Probably, #8 is meant to be something else, like $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ or just CD without arrow.
But given the context, and since #1 is already matched to Ray CD, perhaps #8 is Line CD.
Let’s assume that #8 is “Line CD” even though it’s written with arrow — maybe it’s a mistake in transcription.
To resolve this, let’s use the images available.
From the right-hand side, we have these distinct images:
- Image 1: Line AB (arrows both ends) → for #2
- Image 2: Ray CD (start C, arrow D) → for #1
- Image 3: Point P → for #5
- Image 4: Segment CD → for #4
- Image 5: Plane ABC → for #7
- Image 6: Line CD (arrows both ends, labeled C,D) → this must be for #8 if #8 is Line CD
- Image 7: Ray AB (start A, arrow B) → for #3
- Image 8: Segment AB? If it’s labeled A and B with no arrows, then for #6
Yes — that makes sense.
So:
#6 Line Segment AB → image #8 (assuming it’s a segment between A and B)
#8 → if it’s written as $\overrightarrow{CD}$ but should be Line CD, then image #6
But in the user’s input, #8 is written as $\overrightarrow{CD}$, same as #1. This is confusing.
Perhaps in the original worksheet, #8 is $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ or just "Line CD".
Given that, and to match all, I’ll proceed with:
For #8, since it's listed as $\overrightarrow{CD}$ but we already used that for #1, and there’s an image of Line CD (image #6), likely #8 is meant to be Line CD.
Maybe it's a typo, and #8 is $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$.
I think for accuracy, based on common worksheets, let's assign:
Final matching:
1. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ → image 2 (Ray CD)
2. Line AB → image 1 (Line with arrows, A and B)
3. Ray AB → image 7 (Start A, arrow to B)
4. $\overline{CD}$ → image 4 (Segment CD)
5. Point P → image 3 (Dot P)
6. Line Segment AB → image 8 (Segment between A and B — assuming no arrows)
7. Plane ABC → image 5 (Plane with three points)
8. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ — but this is duplicate. Perhaps it's $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ → image 6 (Line CD with arrows)
Since the user wrote #8 as $\overrightarrow{CD}$, but that can't be, I'll assume it's a mistake and it's Line CD.
In many versions of this worksheet, #8 is "Line CD".
So I'll go with that.
Thus:
8. Line CD → image 6
Now, to write the final answer as pairs:
1 → 2
2 → 1
3 → 7
4 → 4
5 → 3
6 → 8
7 → 5
8 → 6
Where the numbers on the right are the position from top to bottom (1 to 8).
So the matching is:
1. CD with arrow → second image on right
2. Line AB → first image on right
3. Ray AB → seventh image on right
4. CD with bar → fourth image on right
5. Point P → third image on right
6. Line Segment AB → eighth image on right
7. Plane ABC → fifth image on right
8. CD with arrow (assumed Line CD) → sixth image on right
But to confirm, let's see if image 8 is indeed Segment AB.
In the user's image description, the eighth box is labeled "B" and "A", and if it's a segment, it should have no arrows. In standard worksheets, that's often how Segment AB is shown.
Similarly, image 6 is Line CD with arrows both ends.
So yes.
Final Answer:
1 → 2
2 → 1
3 → 7
4 → 4
5 → 3
6 → 8
7 → 5
8 → 6
But since the question asks to match, and in the format, probably list the image number for each.
In the worksheet, the right-hand images are numbered implicitly from top to bottom as 1 to 8.
So for each left item, give the corresponding right image number.
Thus:
1. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ → 2
2. Line AB → 1
3. Ray AB → 7
4. $\overline{CD}$ → 4
5. Point P → 3
6. Line Segment AB → 8
7. Plane ABC → 5
8. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ → but this is problematic. Since it's written the same as #1, and we have to choose, and image 6 is Line CD, perhaps #8 is meant to be that.
Maybe in the original, #8 is $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$.
I think for the sake of completing, I'll assume #8 is Line CD and matches image 6.
So the final matching is as above.
Now, to present the answer clearly.
Final Answer:
1 → 2
2 → 1
3 → 7
4 → 4
5 → 3
6 → 8
7 → 5
8 → 6
We’ll look at what each term means and then find the matching image.
---
1. CD with an arrow over it (→)
This is a ray that starts at point C and goes through D, extending forever in one direction.
Look for a line that starts at C and has an arrow pointing toward D.
✔ That matches the second box on the right — the one labeled “C” at the start and “D” with an arrowhead.
*(Note: The red line already drawn in the worksheet connects #1 to this image — so we’re confirming that’s correct.)*
---
2. Line AB
A line goes on forever in both directions. It should have arrows on BOTH ends.
Look for a straight line with points A and B on it, and arrows on both sides.
✔ That’s the last box on the right — labeled “B” and “A” with arrows on both ends.
---
3. Ray AB
A ray starts at point A and goes through B, extending forever in one direction. So it should have a starting point at A and an arrow going toward B.
✔ Look for a line that starts at A and has an arrow pointing to B.
That’s the seventh box from the top on the right — labeled “A” at the start, “B” at the end with an arrow.
Wait — let’s double-check the images:
Actually, looking again:
The third image down on the right is just a dot labeled P — that’s not it.
Fourth image: segment CD — no arrows.
Fifth: plane with points A, B, C — too many points.
Sixth: line CD with arrows on both ends — that’s a line, but labeled C and D.
Seventh: starts at A, goes to B with arrow — YES! That’s Ray AB.
So #3 → seventh box.
---
4. CD with a bar over it (—)
This is a line segment — it has two endpoints, C and D, and does NOT extend. No arrows.
✔ That’s the fourth box on the right — solid line between C and D, no arrows.
---
5. Point P
A point is just a dot, usually labeled with a letter.
✔ Third box on the right — single dot labeled “P”.
---
6. Line Segment AB
Again, a segment has two endpoints, no arrows.
Look for a line between A and B with no arrows.
✔ Eighth box? Wait — let’s check:
Box 8: labeled B and A, but has arrows? No — wait, box 8 is actually the bottom one: labeled B and A, with arrows on both ends? No — let me re-express:
Actually, let’s list the right-side boxes clearly from top to bottom:
Right column (top to bottom):
1. Line with arrows both ends, labeled A and B → this is Line AB
2. Ray starting at C, arrow to D → Ray CD
3. Dot labeled P → Point P
4. Segment between C and D → Segment CD
5. Plane with points A, B, C → Plane ABC
6. Line with arrows both ends, labeled C and D → Line CD
7. Ray starting at A, arrow to B → Ray AB
8. Segment between A and B? Wait — no, box 8 is labeled B and A, but looks like it has arrows? Actually, looking back at original:
Wait — in the user’s image, box 8 (bottom right) shows a line from B to A with arrows on both ends? Or is it a segment?
Actually, let’s re-read the labels carefully based on standard notation.
In the problem:
#6 is “Line Segment AB” — so we need a segment (no arrows) between A and B.
Looking at the right-hand images:
- Box 7: starts at A, arrow to B → that’s Ray AB → matches #3
- Box 8: labeled B and A — if it has no arrows, it’s a segment. But in the image description, it might be ambiguous.
Wait — perhaps I made a mistake earlier.
Let me re-map all correctly using standard definitions:
Standard Geometry Notation:
- Line AB: written as ↔AB or just "Line AB" — infinite in both directions → must have arrows on both ends.
- Ray AB: written as →AB — starts at A, goes through B → arrow only on B side.
- Segment AB: written as —AB or AB with bar — finite, two endpoints, no arrows.
- Point P: just a dot.
- Plane ABC: flat surface with at least 3 non-collinear points.
Now, let’s assign each number:
1. →CD → Ray starting at C, going through D → matches image #2 on right (C to D with arrow)
2. Line AB → infinite both ways, labeled A and B → image #1 on right (arrows both ends, A and B)
3. Ray AB → starts at A, goes through B → image #7 on right (starts at A, arrow to B)
4. —CD → segment between C and D → image #4 on right (solid line C to D, no arrows)
5. Point P → dot labeled P → image #3 on right
6. Line Segment AB → segment between A and B, no arrows → which image is that?
Looking at remaining images:
Image #8: labeled B and A — if it’s a segment, it should have no arrows. In the original image, box 8 appears to be a segment? Or does it have arrows?
Actually, in the user’s uploaded image, the bottom-right box (#8) shows a line from B to A with arrows on both ends? Or not?
Wait — let’s think differently. Perhaps box #8 is meant to be Segment AB.
But in the initial setup, box #1 on right is Line AB (arrows both ends), box #7 is Ray AB (start A, arrow B), so Segment AB must be another one.
Wait — there’s also box #8: if it’s labeled A and B with no arrows, that’s it.
But in the image provided in the question, the eighth box (bottom right) is described as having points B and A — and in many such worksheets, that would be the segment.
Alternatively, maybe I missed one.
Let’s count the right-hand boxes again:
There are 8 boxes on the right.
List them with likely identities:
Top to bottom:
1. Arrows both ends, labeled A and B → Line AB → matches #2
2. Start C, arrow to D → Ray CD → matches #1
3. Dot P → Point P → matches #5
4. Solid line C to D → Segment CD → matches #4
5. Plane with A,B,C → Plane ABC → matches #7
6. Arrows both ends, labeled C and D → Line CD → not used yet? But we don’t have “Line CD” in left list. Left list has only up to #8, and #8 is →CD again? Wait no.
Left list:
1. →CD
2. Line AB
3. Ray AB
4. —CD
5. Point P
6. Line Segment AB
7. Plane ABC
8. →CD ??? Wait, #8 is also →CD? That can’t be.
Wait — looking back at user input:
In the original problem, item #8 is written as “CD” with an arrow over it — same as #1? That must be a typo or misread.
Actually, in the user’s text:
> 8 $\overrightarrow{CD}$
Same as #1? That doesn’t make sense.
Perhaps it’s a different notation.
Wait — in some notations, $\overrightarrow{CD}$ is ray from C to D, and maybe #8 is something else.
But in the user’s message, it says:
> 8 $\overrightarrow{CD}$
Exactly the same as #1.
That must be an error. Probably, #8 is meant to be something else, like $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ or just CD without arrow.
But given the context, and since #1 is already matched to Ray CD, perhaps #8 is Line CD.
Let’s assume that #8 is “Line CD” even though it’s written with arrow — maybe it’s a mistake in transcription.
To resolve this, let’s use the images available.
From the right-hand side, we have these distinct images:
- Image 1: Line AB (arrows both ends) → for #2
- Image 2: Ray CD (start C, arrow D) → for #1
- Image 3: Point P → for #5
- Image 4: Segment CD → for #4
- Image 5: Plane ABC → for #7
- Image 6: Line CD (arrows both ends, labeled C,D) → this must be for #8 if #8 is Line CD
- Image 7: Ray AB (start A, arrow B) → for #3
- Image 8: Segment AB? If it’s labeled A and B with no arrows, then for #6
Yes — that makes sense.
So:
#6 Line Segment AB → image #8 (assuming it’s a segment between A and B)
#8 → if it’s written as $\overrightarrow{CD}$ but should be Line CD, then image #6
But in the user’s input, #8 is written as $\overrightarrow{CD}$, same as #1. This is confusing.
Perhaps in the original worksheet, #8 is $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ or just "Line CD".
Given that, and to match all, I’ll proceed with:
For #8, since it's listed as $\overrightarrow{CD}$ but we already used that for #1, and there’s an image of Line CD (image #6), likely #8 is meant to be Line CD.
Maybe it's a typo, and #8 is $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$.
I think for accuracy, based on common worksheets, let's assign:
Final matching:
1. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ → image 2 (Ray CD)
2. Line AB → image 1 (Line with arrows, A and B)
3. Ray AB → image 7 (Start A, arrow to B)
4. $\overline{CD}$ → image 4 (Segment CD)
5. Point P → image 3 (Dot P)
6. Line Segment AB → image 8 (Segment between A and B — assuming no arrows)
7. Plane ABC → image 5 (Plane with three points)
8. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ — but this is duplicate. Perhaps it's $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$ → image 6 (Line CD with arrows)
Since the user wrote #8 as $\overrightarrow{CD}$, but that can't be, I'll assume it's a mistake and it's Line CD.
In many versions of this worksheet, #8 is "Line CD".
So I'll go with that.
Thus:
8. Line CD → image 6
Now, to write the final answer as pairs:
1 → 2
2 → 1
3 → 7
4 → 4
5 → 3
6 → 8
7 → 5
8 → 6
Where the numbers on the right are the position from top to bottom (1 to 8).
So the matching is:
1. CD with arrow → second image on right
2. Line AB → first image on right
3. Ray AB → seventh image on right
4. CD with bar → fourth image on right
5. Point P → third image on right
6. Line Segment AB → eighth image on right
7. Plane ABC → fifth image on right
8. CD with arrow (assumed Line CD) → sixth image on right
But to confirm, let's see if image 8 is indeed Segment AB.
In the user's image description, the eighth box is labeled "B" and "A", and if it's a segment, it should have no arrows. In standard worksheets, that's often how Segment AB is shown.
Similarly, image 6 is Line CD with arrows both ends.
So yes.
Final Answer:
1 → 2
2 → 1
3 → 7
4 → 4
5 → 3
6 → 8
7 → 5
8 → 6
But since the question asks to match, and in the format, probably list the image number for each.
In the worksheet, the right-hand images are numbered implicitly from top to bottom as 1 to 8.
So for each left item, give the corresponding right image number.
Thus:
1. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ → 2
2. Line AB → 1
3. Ray AB → 7
4. $\overline{CD}$ → 4
5. Point P → 3
6. Line Segment AB → 8
7. Plane ABC → 5
8. $\overrightarrow{CD}$ → but this is problematic. Since it's written the same as #1, and we have to choose, and image 6 is Line CD, perhaps #8 is meant to be that.
Maybe in the original, #8 is $\overleftrightarrow{CD}$.
I think for the sake of completing, I'll assume #8 is Line CD and matches image 6.
So the final matching is as above.
Now, to present the answer clearly.
Final Answer:
1 → 2
2 → 1
3 → 7
4 → 4
5 → 3
6 → 8
7 → 5
8 → 6
