What are ……..? Undefined terms Definitions Postulates and axioms Theorems An axiomatic system

Undefined terms Figures or ideas that can be described, but cannot be given precise definitions ◦ Point – location in space. 0-dimension Indicated by a dot, Label with Capital Letters  A ◦ Line – infinite set of points. 1 – dimension Indicated by  Label with 2 points or a lower case letter. ◦ Plane – sheet of points. 2 – dimensions

Definitions Figures and objects that are described in terms of undefined terms, previously defined terms, and postulates. We DEFINE space to be the set of all points. We DEFINE a geometric figure to be a subset of space. (p. 39)

Postulates (axioms) Statements we assume to be true State relationships among defined and undefined terms. ◦ Every line contains at least two distinct points ◦ Two points are contained in one and only one line ◦ If two points are in a plane, then the line containing these points is also in the plane (p.40)

Theorems Deductions that can be made from undefined terms, definitions, postulates, and already proven theorems ◦ The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is 180 ⁰. (p. 66) ◦ The sum of the measures of the vertex angles in a polygon with n sides is (n- 2)180 ⁰. (p.68)

Axiomatic system An idea structure Begins with a small set of undefined terms and builds on them to produce definitions, postulates and theorems. ◦ Euclidean ◦ Non-Euclidean (pp. 555 – 565)  Taxicab geometry (p. 560)
