Study Notes
Postulates and Theorems for Geometry
-
Flatness and Separation:
- A plane contains at least 3 non-collinear points.
- Space contains at least 4 non-coplanar points.
- Two intersecting lines only intersect at one point.
- If two points on a line are in a plane, then the whole line is in that plane.
- A line intersecting a plane not containing it intersects at only one point.
- Any 3 points are in at least one plane, exactly 1 plane if non-collinear.
- Given a line and point not on it, only 1 plane contains both.
- Given 2 intersecting lines, exactly 1 plane contains both.
- Two planes intersect in a line.
- A set is convex if every segment between any two points in the set lies entirely within the set.
- Every plane is a convex set.
- A line separates a plane into two half-planes.
- A plane separates space into two half-spaces.
- Every line is the edge of infinitely many half-planes.
- Every plane is the face of exactly two half-spaces.
-
Line Separation Postulate:
- Given a line and a point not on it, the points on the line not including the point form two convex sets. If a point is in one set and a point is in the other, then the segment connecting them contains the given point.
-
Angles and Measurements:
- Angle measurement postulate: Every angle has a unique measure between 0 and 180.
- Acute angle: 0° < measure < 90°
- Right angle: measure = 90°
- Obtuse angle: 90° < measure < 180°
- Ray on the edge of the half-plane and a given number r, there is a unique ray with the given measurement.
- Angle addition postulate: If D is in the interior of ∠BAC, then m∠BAC = m∠BAD + m∠DAC.
- Clock angles: 6° in 1 minute, 60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 degree, 1 hour = 30 degrees, 1 minute = 0.5 degrees, Formula: 30H - (11/2)M.
-
Angle Relationships:
- Adjacent angles: angles sharing a common side and vertex.
- Linear pair: adjacent angles whose uncommon sides are opposite rays.
- Supplementary angles: angles whose measures sum to 180°.
- Complementary angles: angles whose measures sum to 90°.
- Vertical angles: angles opposite each other when two lines intersect.
-
Congruent and Perpendicular Angles:
- Supplement Theorem: if two angles are congruent and supplementary, they are right angles.
- Vertical Angle Theorem: vertical angles are congruent.
- Complementary Theorem.
- Perpendicular lines: lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle.
