A branch of
mathematics that
deals with the
study of Earth’s
measurement
1. A line, a plane, and space each contain
an infinite number of points
2. For any two points, there is exactly one
line containing them.
3. For any three noncollinear points, there is
exactly one plane containing them.
4. If two points are on a plane, then the line
containing them lie on the plane.
5. Two lines intersect in one and only one
point.
6. Two planes intersect in one and only one
line.
7. Distance Postulate
๏ƒ˜Corresponding to every pair of distinct
points, there is one and only one positive real
number called the distance between them.
๏ƒ˜It is the absolute value of the difference of
their coordinates.
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
8. Segment Addition Postulate
๏ƒ˜ If A, B and C are collinear, and B is
between A and C, then AB +BC = AC
A
B
C
• The midpoint of a line segment is the point
that separates the segment into 2 equal
length
• The bisector of a line segment is a point, a
line or a plane that separates the segment
into two equal lengths.
9. Midpoint Postulate
๏ƒ˜A segment has exactly one midpoint
ANGLE
An angle is the union of two rays that have a
common endpoint.
10. Angle Measurement Postulate
An angle measurement indicates how big or
small the angle is
11. Angle Addition Postulate
If P is the interior of ∠RAC, then
∠๐‘…๐ด๐‘ƒ + ∠๐ถ๐ด๐‘ƒ = ∠๐‘…๐ด๐ถ
12. Angle Bisector Postulate
An angle has exactly one bisecrtor
Use the figure below for exercises nos. 1-9
1. Name the ray with endpoint at B going in the direction of D.
2. Name the ray with endpoint at C going in the direction of A.
3. Name the segment joining point B with point D.
4. Give two opposite rays with common endpoint C.
5. What is the intersection of ray BD and ray CA?
6. 6. Name the ray opposite BC.
7. Name the ray opposite CA.
8. What point is between points B and D?
9. Give another name for BC
10.Give another name for CB
TRUE OR FALSE
Use the figure
1. AB + BD = AD
2. AB + BE = AE
3. AC + CD = AD
4. B is between A and D
5. C is between B and D
6. A, B, C, D are collinear
7. AB = AD – BD
8. DE and BA are opposite rays.
9. Ray BE can be named BD.
10. Ray DA can be named AD.
Fill in the blanks
1. A segment has _________endpoints
2. A __________is a subset of a line with one definite endpoint and
extends infinitely in one direction.
3. _________are two collinear rays with a common endpoint.
Use the figure at the right for exercises nos. 4-8
4. CD + ______ = CE.
5. The ray opposite DE is ________
6. The ray with endpoint C going in the direction of D is _________
7. The ray with endpoint E going in the direction C is __________
8. The point between two other points is ________.
9. If two points P and Q are exactly the same point, then the distance
between them is ______
10. The endpoint of each ray in the figure is _______
ANGLE
There are three kinds of angles according to measure. They are the
following.
1. Acute angle- is an angle with a measure grater than 0
but less than 90.
2. Right angle- is an angle with a measure of 90.
The symbol in the corner of a right of the figure
indicates that the measure of the angle is 90.
3. Obtuse angle – is an angle with a measure greater
than 90 but less than 180
