    Study Notes

    Geometric Postulates

    • Postulate 5: Intersecting planes will always intersect along a single line.
    • Postulate 2: Through any two distinct points, there exists a unique line.
    • Postulate 1b: Space must contain a minimum of four points that are not co-planar.
    • Postulate 3: A configuration of three non-collinear points determines exactly one plane.
    • Postulate 4: If two points lie in a plane, then the line connecting them is also within that plane.
    • Postulate 1a: A plane must contain at least three points that are not collinear.
    • Two points determine exactly one line.
    • Theorems cannot be used to establish postulates; postulates are accepted truths.
    • Theorems require formal proofs to validate their statements.
    • Two planes intersect in only one line.
    • If a ray lies in a plane, every point along that ray also exists in the same plane.
    • If point C lies between points A and B, the segment lengths satisfy the equation AC + CB = AB.
    • Three points may be collinear under certain conditions, but it is not a necessity.
    • It is never true that two planes can intersect at only one point; their intersection is always a line.
