1. A point is a location. It has neither shape nor size
2. A line is made up of points and has no thickness or width. There is exactly one
line through any two points
3. A plane is a flat surface made up of points that extends infinitely in all directions.
•There is exactly one plane through any three points not on the same line. (Any 3
points that form a triangle)
4. Collinear points are points that lie on the same line
5. N.QtJ.£Q!U!JJ! .i!.f points are points that do not lie on the same line
6. Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane
7. N.O..fJ.£PPlan.1Ar points are points that do not lie on the same plane
8. Postulate- 2 points determine a line
9. Postulate- 3 !19.0!;;9U
. iD.e.�.r: points determine a plane
10. Postulate 2.1- through any two points, there is exactly one line
11. Postulate 2.2- through any three !J.9.0�Qlline.ax points, there is exactly one
plane
12. Postulate 2.3- a line contains at least two points
13. Postulate 2.4- a plane contains at least three noncollinear points
14. Postulate 2.5- if two points lie in a plane, then the entire line containing those
points lies in that plane
15. Postulate 2.6- if two lines intersect, then their intersection is exactly one point
16. Postulate 2. 7- if two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line
17. Postulate C-A LINE and a POINT NOT ON THE LINE DETERMINE A PLANE
18. Congruent segments have the same measure
19. Any segment, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint is called a
segment bisector
20. To bisect is to divide into two congruent parts
21. A midpoint divides a segment into two congruent segments. Thus, a midpoint
bisects a segment
23. A ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles is called an angle
bisector
24. If<A is a right angle, m<A= 90
25. If<B is an acute angle, 0<m< B< 90
26. If< C is an obtuse angle, 90<m<C<180
27. Adjacent angles are two angles that lie in the same plane and have a
common vertex and common side, but no common interior points
28. A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles with non common sides that are
opposite rays
29. Vertical angles are two nonadjacent angles formed by two intersecting
lines
30. Theorem- Vertical angles are congruent
31. Complementary angles are two angles with measures that have a sum of
90
32. Supplementary angles are two angles with measures that have a sum
180
33. Theorem- The angles in a linear pair are supplementary
34. Perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles and, thus, form
four congruent angles
35. An if-then statement is of the form if p, then q (p -> q). The hypothesis
of a conditional statement is the phrase immediately following the word if.
The conclusion is the phrase immediately following the word then
36. A conditional statement can be understood as a promise. The only time
a conditional statement is false is when the hypothesis is true and the
conclusion is false
37. The converse is formed by exchanging the hypothesis and the conclusion
of the conditional (q -> p)
38. The inverse is formed by negating both the hypothesis and conclusion of
the conditional (~p -> ~q)
39. The contrapositive is formed by negating the hypothesis and conclusion
of the converse (~q -> ~p)
40. A conditional and its contrapositive are logically equivalent. The
Converse and inverse are also logically equivalent
41. It a segment (or angle) 1s added to congruent segments (or angles), the sums
are congruent (ADDITION PROPERTY)
If congruent segments (or angles) are added to congruent segments (or
angles), the sums are congruent (ADDITION PROPERTY)
If a segment (or angle) is subtracted from congruent segments (or angles), the
differences are congruent (SUBTRACTION PROPERTY)
If congruent segments (or angles) are subtracted from congruent segments (or
angles), the differences are congruent (SUBTRACTION PROPERTY)
If segments (or angles) are congruent, their like multiples (doubles, triples,
etc.) are congruent (MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY)
If segments (or angles) are congruent, their like divisions (halves, etc.) are
congruent (DIVISION PROPERTY)

45. Supplement Theorem: If two angles form a linear pair, then they are
supplementary angles

46. Complement Theorem: If the f.l.Q.IJ�Q.!T.\!I!QD sides of two adjacent angles form a
right angle, then the angles are complementary angles
47. If <Sare comp to the same<, they are congruent
48. If <Sare comp to congruent angles, they are congruent
49. If <Sare l?.YP.P. to the same angle, they are congruent
50. If<Sare §. YP.P to congruent<s, they are congruent
51. Perpendicular lines intersect to form four right angles
52. All right angles are congruent
53. Perpendicular lines form congruent adjacent angles
54. If two angles are congruent and supplementary, then each angle is a right
angle
55. If two congruent angles form a linear pair, then they are right angles
56. If two angles are vertical angles, then they are congruent
57. Inductive reasoning is reasoning that uses a number of specific examples to
arrive at a conclusion
58. A concluding statement reached using inductive reasoning is called a
conjecture
59. A false example to show that a conjecture is not true is called a
counterexample
60. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of
corresponding angles is congruent
61. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate
interior angles is congruent
62. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of consecutive
interior angles is supplementary
63. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate
exterior angles is congruent
64. In a plane, if a line is perpendicular to one of two parallel lines, then it is
perpendicular to the other
65. If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of
corresponding angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel
66. If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate
exterior angles is congruent, then the two lines are parallel
67. If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair consecutive
interior angles is supplementary, then the lines are parallel
68. If two lines in a plane are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate
interior angles is congruent, then the lines are parallel
69. In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are
parallel
