Chapter 1: Tools of Geometry 1- 3 Points, Lines, and Planes Objectives, student will be able: 1. To understand basic terms of geometry. 2. To understand basic postulates of geometry. CW/HW: pgs. 19-21 #’s 2 – 48 Even Points Collinear Points Lines Planes Planes Planes Planes Planes Planes Planes Planes Planes Planes Coplanar Postulate or Axiom A postulate or axiom is an accepted statement as fact. Postulate and Axioms have no formal proof they exist or are true Many mathematicians do years of research trying to prove postulates or axioms true. Postulates and axioms that are proven true are known as Theorems. Postulate 1-1 Through any two points there is exactly one line. Line t is the only line that passes through points A and B. Postulate 1-2 If two lines intersect they intersect in exactly one point and intersect at C. Postulate 1-3 If two planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line. Plane RST and Plane STW Intersect in . Postulate 1-4 Through any three noncollinear points there is exactly one plane. “Think of a tripod” Space Space – the set of all points Total space in zero dimensions is a point. Total space in one dimension is a line. Total space in two dimensions is a plane Total space in three dimensions infinite in all diections * * How to sketch: How to label: * Use capital printed letters. * dots A B C A * Never label two points with the same name (in the same sketch). *Think of points as location markers. *Points are zero dimensional. Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. (The line does not have to be visible.) non-collinear collinear Definition: How to sketch: How to label: 1- small “script” letter * must have arrows at both ends 2- any two points on the line (Two methods) n Possible Names: ? ? ? ? ? ? How to sketch: How to label: * horizontal * vertical 1- capital “script” letter 2- any three points on the plane (Two methods) * other horizontal “edges” vertical “edges” M P N Thi
