Examples.
1 Naming Segments and Rays Name the segments and rays in the figure. A
The labeled points in the figure are A, B, and C.
A segment is a part of a line consisting of two endpoints and all points
between them. A segment is named by its two endpoints. So the
segments are and .
B C
A ray is a part of a line consisting of one endpoint and all the points of
the line on one side of that endpoint. A ray is named by its endpoint first, followed
by any other point on the ray. So the rays are and .

2 Identifying Parallel and Skew Segments Use the figure at right. D

C
Name all segments that are parallel to AE. Name all segments that
are skew to AE. B
A
Parallel segments lie in the same plane, and the lines that contain them H G
do not intersect. The three segments in the figure that are parallel to
AE are , and . E F

Skew segments are segments that do not lie in the same plane. The four
segments in the figure that do not lie in the same plane as AE are ,
, and .

3 Identifying Parallel Planes Identify a pair of parallel planes in your classroom.

Planes are parallel if they . If the walls of your classroom
are vertical, walls are parts of parallel planes. If the ceiling and
floor of the classroom are level, they are parts of parallel planes.

Check Understanding.

1. Critical Thinking Use the figure in Example 1. CB and BC form a line. Are
they opposite rays? Explain.
