    Students will be able to:

    Understand basic terms and postulates of


    geometry.

    Key Vocabulary
    point coplanar opposite rays
    line space postulate
    plane segment axiom
    Collinear points ray intersection
    Geometry is a mathematical system built on accepted
    facts, basic terms, and definitions.

    In geometry, some words such as point, line, and
    plane are undefined. Undefined terms are the basic
    ideas that you can use to build the definitions of all
    other figures in geometry. Although you can not
    define undefined terms, it is important to have a
    general description of their meanings.
    Points that lie on the same line are collinear points.

    Points and lines that lie in the same plane are
    coplanar.

    All the points of a line are coplanar.
    Problem 1:
    What are two other ways to name ?

    What are two other ways to name plane P?

    What are the names of
    thee collinear points?

    What are the names of
    four coplanar points?
    QT
    suur
    The terms point, line, and plane are not defined
    because their definitions would require terms that
    also need defining. You can, however, used
    undefined terms to define other terms.

    A geometric figure is a set of points.

    Space is the set of all points in three dimensions.
    Problem 2:
    What are the names of the segments in the figure at the right?

    What are the names of the rays in the figure?

    Which of the rays in part (b)
    are opposite rays?

    Ray EF and Ray FE form a line.
    Are they opposite rays?
    Problem 2:
    Do the names and represent different
    segments?

    Can the three points shown on the line be used to
    name a plane?

    How are segments , ,
    and related to each other?

    A postulate or axiom is an accepted statement of
    fact.
    Postulates, like undefined terms, are basic building
    blocks of the logical system of geometry.

    You will use logical reasoning to prove general
    concepts in this book.







    You used Postulate 1-1 when you graphed equations
    such as y = 2x + 8. You graphed two points and drew
    a line through the two points.
    When you have two or more geometric figures, their
    intersection is the set of points the figures have in
    common.
    In algebra, one way to solve a system of two
    equations is to graph them like on the right. This
    uses Postulate 1-2.







    Problem 3:
    Each surface of the box at the right represents part of
    a plane. What is the intersection of plane ADC and
    plane BFG?




    What are the names of the to planes that
    intersect at ?


    BF
    suur
    Problem 4:
    What plane contains points N, P, and Q? Shade the
    plane.

    What plane contains points
    J, M, and Q? Shade the plane.

    What planes contains points L, M, and N?
    Shade the plane.
