    Study Notes

    Undefined Terms of Geometry

    • Point, line, and plane are the three undefined terms in geometry.

    Sets of Points and Notation

    • Point: A location in space, represented by a capital letter. Example: Point A.
    • Line: A straight arrangement of points that extends infinitely in two directions, often represented by a lowercase script letter or three points on the line. Example: Line l or line ABC
    • Plane: A flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions, often represented by a script capital letter or three noncollinear points in the plane. Example: Plane P or plane ABC
    • Segment: A part of a line consisting of two endpoints and all points between them. Notation: AB or BA.
    • Ray: A part of a line that starts at a particular point and extends infinitely in one direction. Notation: AB (starting at A and extending through B).

    Properties of Relations

    • Reflexive: A relation is reflexive if every element in the set is related to itself.
    • Symmetric: A relation is symmetric if whenever a is related to b, then b is related to a.
    • Transitive: A relation is transitive if whenever a is related to b and b is related to c, then a is related to c.
    • Equivalence Relation: A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

    Properties of Real Numbers

    • Geometry relies on arithmetic and algebraic properties of real numbers, such as commutative, associative, distributive properties, and the additive and multiplicative identities.

    Distance Between Two Points

    • The distance between two points, A and B, is the length of the segment connecting them, computed using the distance formula. Distance is always nonnegative.

    Segment and Ray Definitions

    • Segment: A portion of a line between two points called endpoints.
    • Ray: A portion of a line that begins at a point (endpoint) and extends infinitely in only one direction.

    Midpoint of a Segment

    • The midpoint of a segment is the point that divides the segment into two congruent segments.

    Coordinates of the Midpoint of a Segment

    • The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).

    Betweenness

    • A point B is between points A and C if A, B, and C are collinear, and the distance from A to B plus the distance from B to C equals the distance from A to C. Notation: B is between A and C.

    Opposite Rays

    • Two rays that have the same endpoint and form a line are called opposite rays.

    Midpoints and Bisectors of Segments

    • A segment bisector is a point, line, segment, ray, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint.

    Union and Intersection of Sets of Points

    • The union of sets of points is the set of all points in either or both sets.
    • The intersection of sets of points is the set of all points that belong to both sets.

    Postulates and Theorems

    • Postulates: Basic assumptions accepted without proof.
    • Theorems: Statements that can be proven based on postulates and other theorems.

    Postulates

    • Distance Postulate: Every pair of points has one and only one distance.
    • Ruler Postulate: The points on a line can be placed in a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers.
    • Ruler Placement Postulate: A coordinate system can be placed on any given line.
    • Line Postulate: A line contains at least two points.

    Theorems

    • Point Plotting Theorem: Given a line and a point not on the line, there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the given line.
    • Midpoint Theorem: A point is the midpoint of a segment if it divides the segment into two congruent segments.
