1. Points, Lines, and Planes

2. Even though there is no formal definition for these terms, there is general agreement of their meaning: A point is a dimensionless location in space. It is represented by a dot and named with an uppercased letter. A line has one dimension. It extends infinitely in both directions and is represented by a line with arrowheads, as shown. The following are all correct names for the line shown: The above line can be called line m, Line AB, Line BC, Line CA, Line CB, etc. In symbols this is: AB, CB, AC, etc. A plane has two dimensions. It is represented by a parallelogram or a trapezoid to show perspective. It is named by 3 points on the plane, or by a single uppercased letter. The plane to the right can be named in several different ways. Example: Plane DEF or Plane FDE m A B C D N E F

3. Collinear points are points that are on the same line. Coplanar points are points that are on the same plane. A ray is the union of a half-line and the point that created it. That point is said to be the endpoint of the ray. A line segment (or just a segment) is the intersection of two rays with distinct endpoints, each of whose endpoints are included in the other’s half-line. Two rays are opposite rays if their union is a line and their intersection consists of exactly one point. 1. Do MA and AM refer to the same line segment? 2. Do AT and TA refer to the same ray? M A T H

5. In Geometry, a rule that is accepted without proof is called a postulate or axiom. A rule that can be proved is called a theorem. 1. Distance Postulate: To any two distinct points, there exists a real unique real number called the distance. a. Distance is always non-negative. b. The distance from point A to point B is denoted by AB. The length, or measure of a line segment, AB, for example, is also AB. c. Note that we never discuss the length of a line because its length is infinite. d. If AB = 0, then A and B must be the same point. This is known as a zero segment. 2. Ruler Postulate: The points on a line can be put in a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers. The real number corresponding to a point is called its coordinate. The distance between points A and B, written AB, is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates of A and B. Every point has a number Every number has a point This implies a line is infinitely dense, that is there is no way to pass from one half plane created by a given line to the other half plane created by that line without passing through a point of the line a. Ex: If the coordinate of A is a and the coordinate of B is b, then AB = |a – b| or |b – a| b. Ex: If the coordinate of A is a and the coordinate of B is 7, then AB = |a – 7| c. Ex: If the coordinate of A is a and the coordinate of B is 7, and AB = 10, find the value(s) of a:

6. ACB ABBC AC If A, B, and C are collinear in that order, then B is between A and C. Segment Addition Postulate: If B is between A and C, then… a. AC = AB + BC b. AB = AC – BC c. BC = AC – AB Segments are congruent if they have the same length: AB = CD iff a.When writing up proofs later in the course, we will often go from “ = ” to “ ” or vice/versa b. It is incorrect to write that or that ; Equals is for numbers, congruence is for shapes.
