Geometry: Points, Lines, Planes, and Angles

MA.912.G.8.1 Analyze the structure of Euclidean geometry as an axiomatic system. Distinguish between undefined terms, definitions, postulates, and theorems. Block 10

Some history of Euclidean geometry First we give some history of Euclidean geometry

Euclid Euclid of Alexandria, Greek colony in Egypt, about 325 BC - about 265 BC The most prominent mathematician of Greco-Roman antiquity, best known for his treatise on geometry, the Elements

Euclidean geometry Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, whose Elements is the earliest known systematic discussion of geometry. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these. Source: Wikipedia: Euclidean geometry

Euclidean geometry Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier mathematicians, Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could be fit into a comprehensive deductive and logical system The Elements begin with plane geometry, still taught in secondary school as the first axiomatic system and the first examples of formal proof.

Euclidean geometry It goes on to the solid geometry of three dimensions. Much of the Elements states results of what are now called algebra and number theory, couched in geometrical language Great mathematical recourses in the internet are: http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Indexes/HistoryTopics.html

Structure of Euclidean geometry as an axiomatic system

Axiomatic system cont. In mathematics, an axiomatic system is any set of axioms from which some or all axioms can be used in conjunction to logically derive theorems. A mathematical theory consists of an axiomatic system and all its derived theorems

Axiomatic system cont. Now we will discuss axioms in Euclidean geometry, later we will discuss definitions, and their consequences - theorems.

Axiomatic system An axiomatic system has four parts: undefined terms axioms (also called postulates) definitions theorems

Undefined terms There are some basic terms in Euclidean geometry which can not be defined by other terms Try to define: point, line, plane, space… They have real-life representations Class discussion: what are real-life representations of the point, line, plane, space: you can idea of map, earth surface, furniture etc.

Undefined terms Point In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size).  Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness.    A point is usually named with a capital letter. A

Undefined terms Line In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions.  A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions A line can be named by lowercase letter like a or is named by two points on the line AB

Undefined terms Plane In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions.  Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall.  Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries A plane can be named by capital letter like K or could be named by tree points on the plane ABC

Discussion and illustration of the first 8 axioms

A1 Line through two points Given any two distinct points, there is exactly one line that contains them.

GeoGebra exercises Open GeoGebra and create two points A and B then a line through two points Move the points, move the line – see it well works for the plane

Points on Euclidean plane can be represented as pairs of numbers. Make students open GeoGebra and make observations on their own Point on the Euclidean plane and it’s Algebraic representation

Lines on Euclidean plane can be represented in algebraic form. Line through points A and B on the Euclidean plane and it’s Algebraic representation

Non-Euclidean geometry The axiom 1 does not hold in so called non-Euclidean geometries like hyperbolic geometry or elliptic geometry Here we introduce example of non-Euclidean geometry to make the students to understand the possible consequence of changing the axioms

Example of non – Euclidean geometry In elliptic geometry which model is a sphere where like on the glob we can have more than one line going through two points

Example of non – Euclidean geometry The consequence of violation of axioms can lead to the important differences. For example in Elliptic geometry sum of angles of a triangle is less than 180 degrees

A2 The Distance Postulate To every pair of distinct points there corresponds a unique positive number. This number is called the distance between the two points.

GeoGebra Activity Open GeoGebra with Algebra view Create two points A and B, then a line segment Line segment has a length – this represents distance between two points

Distance between points A and B on the Euclidean plane

Remark: Note: this distance is calculate by the assumption the points are located in Cartesian coordinates plane – but it does not need to be the case – it simply states that there is a unique and positive number which represent distance There other ways to calculate the distance – for example there exists so called city metric (or cab metric)

A3 The Ruler Postulate The points of a line can be placed in a correspondence with the real numbers such that: To every point of the line there corresponds exactly one real number. B. To every real number there corresponds exactly one point of the line. The distance between two distinct points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding real numbers.

Ruler postulate We can image here the points located on the horizontal number line Numbers associates with points are coordinates of points The distance between points could be calculated as absolute value of the difference between their coordinates

Number line Distance: E to A is |4-(-3)|=|7|=7 It is equal distance A to E |-3-4|=|-7|=7 What are the distances: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, BE? This is good moment to ask question for students to enforce the understanding the idea of the distance as well as prepare them for the connection with the Cartesian coordinates later on

A4 The Ruler Placement Postulate Given two points P and Q of a line, the coordinate system can be chosen in such a way that the coordinate of P is zero and the coordinate of Q is positive.

Number line Now assume point D have coordinate 0 – what are the coordinates of A, B, C, E?

Number line Now assume point D have coordinate 0 –and coordinates on the left: A and B are positive and on the right negative. What are the coordinates of the points?

A5: Plane Every plane contains at least three non-collinear points. In this axiom we have one undefined term: plane and one new definition: collinear points. Points are collinear if they lie in the same line

GeoGebra exercise: Open new window. Image the screen before you is a plane. Choose three points. By Axiom 1 you can draw a line by any two of them – so you can have 3 lines. What shape appears? Move the points to see what happens when they are collinear (lying on the same line) How many different lines you can draw for 4 points on the plane? For 5 – do you see the pattern?

A5 Space: B. Space contains at least four non-coplanar points.

GeoGebra exercise: Open new window again and draw 3 non-collinear points ABC. Image you have a 4-th point an inch above a screen, call it D and draw its’ shadow. Now try to draw a solid you obtained by connecting the points by lines in perspective. You should be able to create picture like that:

A6 Plane and a line If two points lie in a plane, then the line containing these points lies in the same plane. This axiom give relation between lines and planes

A7 Three non-collinear points define a plane Any three points lie in at least one plane, and any three non-collinear points lie in exactly one plane.

A7 Three non-collinear points define a plane If three points are collinear – that means they lie on a line then there are infinitely may planes coming through that points. Imagine an open book and points lying on the spine – planes are pages, so there a lot of pages going through spine.

A8: Intersection of two planes is a line Intersection of two or more geometric figures is a set of points they have in common. Two lines on the plane can intersect in a point or in infinitely many points (if they are the same line) or in no points if they are parallel. If they are at space they can be skew.

A8: Intersection of two planes is a line Two planes can be parallel, intersect along a line or in infinitely many points – if they are the same plane. In this axiom we talk about proper intersection like the one below

A8: Intersection of two planes is a line Now look around the room: you can see a lot of the connections between points, lines and planes there. What is the model of the room? This is the exercise to connect real word examples with the abstract notions of Euclidean geometry

Definitions and theorems In the end of explanation what is Axiomatic structure of Euclidean geometry we will mention two more notions: definitions and theorems

Definitions and theorems Definitions or defined terms are explained using undefined terms or defined terms Theorems are the statements which can be derived using logic and axioms or other theorems Example of proofs of theorems are proofs by construction, proofs by contradiction or proofs using Cartesian coordinates Encourage a class discussion so that participants will give examples of definitions and theorems as well as proofs.

Connections between points, lines and planes Visual exercises

Rectangular prism No perspective: One point perspective Two points perspective Point out the similarities and differences in drawings of the prism. Point out the vanishing points and define them as points where the parallel lines meet. Point out the relations of points, lines and planes. Engage students in discussion.

GeoGebra exercise: In this part we would like you to draw a models of a rectangular prism: 1. With no perspective (hand-out) 2. On two-points perspective (hand-out) 3. One point perspective (on your own) After you finish compare the pictures with pictures of your neighbor – move point to see how the figures change. This is a GeoGebra exercise. The time spend here depends on the skills of the students. There are two hand-outs: Drawing the rectangular prism with no perspective.doc Drawing the rectangular prism with two.doc Next if time permits ask the students to draw of a prism in one-point perspective on their own.
