GEOMETRY Points, Lines, and Planes
Learning Targets • I understand the basic terms, definitions, and postulates in this section. Success Criteria • I can use the basic terms and definitions to describe geometric figures. • I can use the postulates to prove facts about different parts of figures.
WHAT IS GEOMETRY • the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties and relations of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher dimensional analogs.
GEOMETRY • Not like algebra! • There is much more writing involved in geometry. • Be prepared to write a lot!
DEFINITIONS • • • Point Line Plane Collinear Points Coplanar Points/Lines
MORE DEFINITIONS • Space • Segment • Ray • Opposite Rays
POSTULATES • An accepted statement of fact. • Also known as an axiom • You have used some of these in algebra, you just didn’t know.
