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.
....................................
A B
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.

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
or
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

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.
A B
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

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.

Segment Addition Postulate
AC
AB BC
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

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.

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.

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.
X
Y
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.

Angle RelationshipsOnce we know the measurements of angles, we can categorize them into several groups of angles:
right = 90° straight = 180°180°
0° < acute < 90° 90° < obtuse < 180°
180° < reflex angle < 360°
Two lines or line segments that meetat a right angle are said to be perpendicular.

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.

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
