Definitions

An "undefined term" is a word or term that does not require further explanation.

There are three undefined terms in geometry:

  Points - A point has no dimensions (length, width, height), it is usually represent by a capital letter and a dot on a page. It shows position only.

 Lines - composed of an unlimited number of points along a straight path. A line has no width or height and extends infinitely in opposite directions.

  Planes - a flat surface that extends indefinitely in two-dimensions. A plane has no thickness.

Points & Lines

A television picture is composed of many dots placed closely together. But if you look very closely, you will see the spaces.

....................................

You can always find a point between any two other The line above would be called line or line

However, in geometry, a line is composed of an unlimited (infinite) number of points. There are no spaces between the points that make a line.

Line , , or

Line a

all refer to the same linePoints are labeled with letters.

Lines are named by using any two points OR by using a single lower-case letter. Arrowheads show that the line continues

without end in opposite directions.

Points & Lines

Postulate: Any two points are always collinear.

Line , , or

Line a

all refer to the same line

Points D, E, and F are called collinear points, meaning they all lie on the same line.

Points A, B, and C are NOT collinear points since they do not lie on the same (one) line.

Collinear Points

Example:Give six different names for the line that contains points U, V, and W.

Postulate: two lines intersect at exactly one point.

If two non-parallel lines intersect in a plane they do so at only one point. and intersect at K.

Intersecting Lines

Examplea. Name three points that are collinearb. Name three sets of points that are noncollinearc. What is the intersection of the two lines?

Rays are also portions of a line.

is read "ray AB"Rays start at an initial point, here endpoint A, and continues infinitely in one direction.

Rays and are NOT the same. They have different initial points and extend in different directions.

Naming Rays

Suppose point C is between points A and B

Rays and are opposite rays.

Opposite rays are two rays with a common endpoint that point in opposite directions and form a straight line.

Opposite Rays

Recall: Since A, B, and C all lie on the same line, we know they are collinear points.

Similarly, segments and rays are called collinear, if they lie on the same line. Segments, rays, and lines are also called coplanar if they all lie on the same plane.

Collinear Rays

ExampleName a point that is collinear with the given points.

a. R and P

b. M and Q

c. S and N

d. O and P

ExampleName two opposite rays on the given line

1 is the same as .

Read the notation carefully. Are they asking about lines, line segments, or rays?

2 is the same as .

3 Line p contains just three points.

Remember that even though only three points are marked, a line is composed of an infinite number of points. You can always find another point in between two other points.

ExampleAre the three points collinear? If they are, name the line they lie on.

a. L, K, Jb. N, I, Mc. M, N, Kd. P, M, I

Points K, M, and L are coplanar.

Points O, K, and L are non-coplanar in the diagram above.

However, you could draw a plane to contain any three points

Planes

Plane KMN, plane LKM, or plane KNL or, by a single letter such as Plane R. (These all name the same plane)

Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane:

Planes can be named by any three noncollinear points:

Collinear points are points that are on the same line.

J,G, and K are three collinear points.F,G, and H are three collinear points. J,G, and H are three non-collinear points.

Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane.

Any three non-collinear points can name a plane.

F, G, H, and I are coplanar.F, G, H, and J are also coplanar, but the plane is not drawn.F,G, and H are coplanar in addition to being collinear.G, I, and K are non-coplanar and non-collinear.

As another example, picture the intersections of the four walls in a room with the ceiling or the floor. You can imagine a line laying along

the intersections of these planes.

If two planes intersect, they intersect along exactly one line.

The intersection of these two planes is shown by line

Intersecting Planes

Through any three non-collinear points there is exactly one plane.

Name the following points:

A point not in plane HIE

A point not in plane GIE

Two points in both planes

Two points not on

Line Segments

Line segments are portions of a line.

endpoint endpoint

Line Segment or are different names for the same segment. It consists of the endpoints A and B and all the points on the line between them.

On a number line, every point can be paired with a number and every number can be paired with a point.

Coordinates indicate the point's position on the number line.

The symbol AF stands for the length of . This distance from A to F can be found by subtracting the two coordinates and taking the absolute value.

Ruler Postulate

Why did we take the Absolute Value when calculating distance?

When you take the absolute value between two numbers, the order in which you subtract the two numbers

does not matter.

In our previous slide, we were seeking the distance between two points. Distance is a physical quantity that can be measured - distances cannot be negative.

 Equal in size and shape. Two objects are congruent  if they have the same dimensions and shape.

Roughly, 'congruent' means 'equal', but it has a precise meaning that you should understand completely when you consider complex shapes.

Definition: Congruence

Line Segments are congruent if they have the same length. Congruent lines can be at any angle or orientation on the plane; they do not need to be parallel.

Read as:"The line segment DE is congruent to line segment HI."

Congruent Segments

Constructing Congruent SegmentsGiven:

1. Draw a reference line w/ your straight edge. Place a reference point to indicate where your new segment start on the line.

2. Place your compass point on point A.

3. Stretch the compass out so that the pencil tip is on point B.

Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the same distance apart over their entire length.

That is, they do not intersect.

Segment Addition Postulate

Simply said, if you take one part of a segment (AB), and add it to another part of the segment (BC), you get the entire segment.

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts.

If B is between A and C, Then AB + BC = AC.

Or, If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C.

Example

The segment addition postulate works for three or more segments if all the segments lie on the same line (i.e. all the points are collinear).

In the diagram, AE = 27, AB = CD, DE = 5, and BC = 6

Find CD and BE

ExampleK, M, and P are collinear with P between K and M.PM = 2x + 4, MK = 14x - 56, and PK = x + 17. Solve for x

1) Draw a diagram and insert the information given into the diagram

2) From the segment addition postulate, we know that KP + PM = MK (the parts equal the whole)

3) Solve for x (x + 17) + (2x + 4) = 14x - 56

ExampleP, B, L, and M are collinear and are in the following order:a) P is between B and Mb) L is between M and P Draw a diagram and solve for x, given: ML = 3x +16, PL = 2x +11, BM = 3x +140, and PB = 3x + 13

1) First, arrange the points in order and draw a diagram a) BPM b) BPLM

2) Segment addition postulate gives  3x+13 + 2x+11 + 3x+16 = 3x+140

The Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagoras was a philosopher, theologian, scientist and mathematician born on the island of Samos in ancient Greece and lived from c. 570–c. 495 BC.

The theorem that in a right triangle the area of the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides.

c2 = a2 + b2

Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean Theory Visual Proof 1

Pythagorean Theory Visual Proof 2

Using the Pythagorean Theorem

c2= a2 + b25

a = ?-9-9

16 = = a

25 = a2 + 9

In the Pythagorean Theorem, c always stands for the longest side. In a right triangle, the longest side is called the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.

You will use the Pythagorean Theorem often.

Distance Between Points

Computing the distance between two points in the plane is an application of the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles.

Computing distances between points in the plane is equivalent to finding the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Computing distance

The Pythagorean Theorem is true for all right triangles. If we know the lengths of two sides of a right triangle then we know the length of the third side.

Relationship between the Pythagorean Theorem & Distance Formula

The Pythagorean Theorem states a relationship among the sides of a right triangle.

The distance between two points, whether on a line or in a coordinate plane, is computed using the distance formula.

The Distance Formula

The distance 'd' between any two points with coordinates and is given by the formula:(x1, y1) (x2, y2)

Note: recall that all coordinates are (x-coordinate, y-coordinate).

Introduction to Locus

Definition: Locus is a set of points that all satisfy a certain condition, in this course, it is the set of points that are the same distance from something else.

All points equidistant from a given line is a parallel line.Theorem: locus from a given line

Theorem: locus between two pointsAll points on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment connecting two points are equidistant from the two points.

Theorem: locus between two linesThe locus of points equidistant from two given parallel lines is a parallel line midway between them.

locus: equidistant from two points

The distance (d) from point A to the locus is equal to the distance (d') from Point B to the locus. The set of all these points forms the red line and is named the locus.

Point M is the midpoint of . X is equidistant (d=d') from A and B. Y lies on the locus; it is also equidistant from A and B.

The locus of points equidistant from two points, A and B, is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment determined by the two points.

We can find the midpoint of a line segment by constructing the locus between two points.

Angle Pair Relationships

Complementary AnglesA pair of angles are called complementary angles if the sum of their degree measurements equals 90 degrees. One of the angles is said to be the complement of the other.

These two angles are complementary (58° + 32° = 90°)

We can rearrange the angles so they are adjacent, i.e. share a common side and a vertex. Complementary angles do not have to be adjacent. If two adjacent angles are complementary, they form a right angle

Supplementary Angles

Supplementary angles are pairs of angles whose measurements sum to 180 degrees.

Supplementary angles do not have to be adjacent or on the same line; they can be separated in space. One angle is said to be the supplement of the other.

44 degrees 136 degrees

Example

Solution:Choose a variable for the angle - I'll choose "x"

Example

Let x = the angle

90 = 2x + x90 = 3x30 = x

Since the angles are complementary we know their summust equal 90 degrees.

Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is twice the size of the smaller angle. What is the measure of both angles?

What is the angle?

If the two supplementary angles are adjacent, having a common vertex and sharing one side, their non-shared sides form a line.

A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles whose non-common sides on the same line. A line could also be called a straight angle with 180°

Angle Bisectors & Constructions

Angle Bisector

An angle bisector is a ray or line which starts at the vertex and cuts an angle into two equal halves

bisects

Bisect means to cut it into two equal parts. The 'bisector' is the thing doing the cutting.

The angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle when measured along a segment perpendicular to the sides of the angle.

Constructing Angle Bisectors1. With the compass point onthe vertex, draw an arc across each side

2. Without changing the compass setting, place the compass point on the arc intersections of the sides

m∠UVX = m∠WVX∠UVX ∠WVX

4. Label your point3. With a straightedge, connect the vertex to the arc intersections

Constructing Angle Bisectors w/ string, rod, pencil & straightedge

1. With the rod on the vertex, draw an arc across each side.

2. Place the rod on the arc intersections of the sides & draw 2 arcs, one from each side showing an intersection point.

m∠UVX = m∠WVX∠UVX ∠WVX

4. Label your point3. With a straightedge, connect the vertex to the arc intersections
