Postulates
Postulate 1: Line Postulate-Two points determine a line. Postulate 2: Three collinear points are contained in more than one plane and three non-collinear points are contained in exactly one plane. Postulate 3: If two distinct lines intersect then there intersection is a point. Postulate 4: If two points of a line are in a plane, then the line is in the plane. Postulate 5: Angle Measurement Postulate-To every angle there corresponds a unique real number r where 0<r<180. Postulate 6: The Angle Construction Postulate-In half-plane H1, through the endpoint of ray BC lying in the edge of the half-plane, there is exactly one other ray BA with A in H1 such that the angle formed by the two rays has a measure between 0 and 180. Postulate 7: The Angle Addition Postulate-If D is in the interior of angle ABC them m<ABC =m<ABD+CBD. Postulate 11: Given two points P and S on a line, a coordinate system can be chosen in such a way that the coordinate of P is 0 and the coordinate of S is greater than 0. Linear Pair Postulate: If two angles form a linear pair then they are supplementary.

Definitions
Point-is an exact location in space. Line-is a set of points with no spaces in between. Plane-is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions.

Line Segment-has two endpoints. Ray-has one endpoint. Half-line: has an endpoint but the endpoints not included on the line. Between: Point P is said to be between A and B iff A,P, and B are distinct points of the same line and AP+PB=AB. Intersecting lines-two lines that meet at a point. Concurrent lines-three or more lines that meet at a point. Parallel lines-two or more coplanar lines that neither meet nor intersect. Skew lines: non-coplanar lines that neither meet nor intersect. Perpendicular lines: coplanar lines that meet at a point and form right angles. Acute triangle-with three acute angles. Right angle-with one right angle. Obtuse angle-with one obtuse angle. Equiangular triangle: all angles are all congruent Scalene triangle: no congruent sides, Isosceles t.: with two congruent sides. Equilateral t.: all sides are congruent. Median (PC: Centroid): segment from the vertex to the midpoint of another side, Angle Bisector (PC: Incenter): segment/line which divides the angle of a triangle into two congruent parts. Altitude (PC: Orthocenter): segment from the vertex perpendicular to the other side. Perpendicular Bisector (PC: Circumcenter): line perpendicular to the opposite side passing through the midpoint. Congruent Segments: Segment AB is congruent to segment CD if and only if AB=CD. Midpoint of a Segment: M is the midpoint of segment AB iff M lies between A and B and AM=MB. Supplementary Angles: sum of the measures of the angles is 180. Complementary Angles: sum of the measures of the angles is 90. Linear Pairs: sum of the measures of the angles is 180 but always adjacent . Adjacent Angles: angles that have a common ray. Congruent Angles: m<1=m<2 iff <1 is congruent to <2.
