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
How to sketch:
How to label:* Use capital printed letters.
* dotsA
B
CA
* Never label two points with the same name (in the same sketch). *Think of points as location markers. *Points are zero dimensional.
Collinear Points
Collinear points are points that lie on the same line. (The line does nothave to be visible.)

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. AE BD
Postulate 1-3
If two planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line.
Plane RST and Plane STW Intersect in .

ST
Postulate 1-4
Through any three noncollinear points there is exactly one plane.

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
