Study Notes
Postulates
- Postulate #1: One unique line can be drawn through any two points.
- Postulate #2: The intersection of two lines forms exactly one point.
- Postulate #3: The intersection of two planes creates a line.
- Postulate #4: Only one plane can be formed through any three non-collinear points.
- Ruler Postulate: Distances can be measured using a ruler between two points.
- Segment Addition Postulate: In three collinear points, the sum of the lengths of the two segments equals the length of the entire segment.
- Protractor Postulate: Angles can be measured from 0 to 180 degrees using a protractor.
- Angle Addition Postulate: The measure of two adjacent angles that share a vertex equals the measure of the entire angle.
- Linear Pair Postulate: Angles that form a linear pair are supplementary (sum to 180 degrees).
Theorems
- Vertical Angle Theorem: Vertical angles are always congruent.
- Theorem #1 (2.6): All right angles are congruent.
- Theorem #2 (2.6): If two congruent angles are supplementary, each is a right angle.
- Same Side Interior Angle Theorem: Same side interior angles formed by a transversal with parallel lines are supplementary.
- Alternate Interior Angle Theorem: Alternate interior angles formed by a transversal with parallel lines are congruent.
- Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem: Alternate exterior angles formed by a transversal with parallel lines are congruent.
- Corresponding Angles Postulate: Corresponding angles created by a transversal across parallel lines are congruent.
Additional Theorems about Parallel Lines
- Theorem #1 (3.4): Two lines parallel to the same line are parallel to each other.
- Theorem #2 (3.4): Two lines perpendicular to the same line are parallel to each other.
- Theorem #3 (3.4): If a line is perpendicular to one of two lines, it is also perpendicular to the other line.
Triangle Properties
- Parallel Postulate: There is exactly one line parallel to a given line through a point not on that line.
- Triangle Angle Sum Theorem: The sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
- Exterior Angle Theorem: An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
- Third Angle Theorem: If two angles in one triangle are congruent to two angles in another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Triangle Congruence Postulates
- SSS Postulate: Triangles are congruent if all three sides of one are congruent to the corresponding sides of another.
- SAS Postulate: Triangles are congruent if two sides and the included angle of one are congruent to the corresponding parts of another.
- ASA Postulate: Triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the two angles and included side of another.
- AAS Postulate: Triangles are congruent if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another.
- Hypotenuse-Leg Theorem: In right triangles, if the hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the triangles are congruent.
Congruence and Triangle Properties
- CPCTC: Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent.
- Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the base angles are also congruent.
- Triangle Midsegment Theorem: A segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length.
- Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is equidistant from the endpoints of that segment.
