    Study Notes

    Segment and Angle Addition Postulates

    • SAP (Segment Addition Postulate) states that two segments can be added to form a larger segment.
    • AAP (Angle Addition Postulate) states that two angles can be added to form a larger angle.

    Linear Pair Theorem

    • The Linear Pair Theorem asserts that when two angles form a straight line, their measures sum to 180 degrees.

    Line Postulate

    • The Line Postulate specifies that for any two distinct points, there exists exactly one line that passes through both.

    Plane Postulate

    • According to the Plane Postulate, three points that are noncollinear will define a unique plane.

    Plane Existence Postulate

    • A line and a point not on that line determine one and only one plane.

    Intersecting Lines and Plane

    • Two intersecting lines exist within exactly one plane that contains both lines.

    Intersection of Lines

    • If two lines intersect, they do so at a single point.

    Intersection of Planes

    • The intersection of two planes results in a line.

    Points and Planes

    • If two points reside on the same plane, the line connecting them is also contained within that plane.

    Properties of Equality and Congruence

    • Includes various properties such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, reflexive, symmetric, transitive (for congruence only), substitution, distributive, commutative, and associative properties.

    Midpoint Theorem

    • The Midpoint Theorem indicates that if point M is the midpoint of segment AB, then the lengths of AM and MB are each half the length of AB.

    Definition of Midpoint and Bisector

    • A midpoint or bisector divides a segment or angle into two congruent segments.

    Angle Bisector Theorem

    • If ray BX is the bisector of an angle, it divides the angle into two equal parts, although further details are needed for a complete definition.
