Geometry Contents

Take notes on the following topics.

Vocabulary:

Point (p. 11) In Euclidean geometry, a point is undefined. You can think of a point as a location. A point has no size.

Space (p. 11) Space is the set of all points.

Line (p. 11) In Euclidean geometry, a line is undefined. You can think of a line as a series of points that extend in two directions without end.

Collinear points (p. 11) Collinear points lie on the same line.

Plane (p. 11) In Euclidean geometry, a plane is undefined. You can think of a plane as a flat surface that has no thickness. A plane contains many lines and extends without end in the directions of its lines

Coplanar figures (p. 11) Coplanar figures are figures in the same plane.

Postulate (p. 12) A postulate, or axiom, is an accepted statement of fact.

Postulate 1-1

Through any two points there is exactly one line

Postulate 1-2
