Geometry: 1.5 Postulates and Theorems Relating Points & Lines

This document defines key terms used in geometry such as postulates, theorems, determine, exists, and unique. It then presents several postulates and theorems relating points and lines: - Postulate 6 states that two points determine a unique line - Postulate 7 states that three non-collinear points determine a unique plane - Theorem 1.1 states that two intersecting lines intersect at a single, unique point - Theorem 1.2 states that a line and a point not on the line determine a unique plane Students are assigned homework problems applying these concepts.

1.5 Postulates and


Theorems Relating Points
& Lines
Some Important Terms
 Postulate(Post.)-a basic assumption
without proof
 Theorem(Thm.)-a statement that can
be proved using postulates, defn.’s &
previously proved thms.
 Determine-to define or specify

“4 walls, a ceiling, and a floor determine a room”


Some Important Terms
 Exists-there is at least one
“chairs exist in this room”

 Unique-there is no more than one


“In this room, the computer is unique, the chairs are not”

 Oneand only one-exactly one;


shows existence and uniqueness
“In this room, there is one and only one fire extinguisher”
Postulate 6(Know the meaning not the number)

 Through any two points there is


exactly one line.

 Howwould you write this using the


word determine?
Two points determine a line.
A .
B .
Postulate 7(Know the meaning not the number)

 Through any three noncollinear points


there is exactly one plane.

.B
.A
.C

 Through any three points there is at least


one plane.
See diagram on the board.
Postulate 8(Know the meaning not the number)

 If two points are in a plane, then the line


that contains the points is in the plane.

B .
A .
Postulate 9(Know the meaning not the number)
 If two planes intersect, then their
intersection is a line.

B .

A .
Theorem 1.1 (Know the meaning not the number)

 If two lines intersect, then they intersect


in exactly one(one and only one) point.

A .

The point exists(there is at least one point) and is


unique(no more than one point exists).
Theorem 1.2 (Know the meaning not the number)

 Through a line and a point not in the line, there is

exactly one(one and only one) plane.


The plane exists(there is at least one plane) and is unique(no more
than one plane exists).

A .
Theorem 1.3 (Know the meaning not the number)

 If two lines intersect, then exactly one (one


and only one) plane contains the lines.

The plane exists(there is at least one plane) and is unique(no more than one
plane exists).
