3. SUBSETS OF A LINE

4. A B
Segment AB, denoted by 𝐴𝐵 or 𝐵𝐴 is the
union of points A, B and all the points between
them. A and B are called the endpoints of the
segment.
Definition of a Segment
A segment is a subset of a line.
The length of the segment is the distance between its
endpoints.

5. A BP
Point P is said to be between A and B if
and only if A, P, and B are distinct points of
the same line and 𝐴𝑃 + 𝑃𝐵 = 𝐴𝐵.
Definition of Between

6. A BP
Ray AP, denoted by 𝐴𝑃 is the union of
(a) 𝐴𝑃 and (b) all points B such that P is
between A and B .
Definition of a Ray
A ray is another subset of a line.
A ray starts at one point of a line and goes on indefinitely
in one direction.

7. Ray AP, denoted by 𝐴𝑃 is the union of
(a) 𝐴𝑃 and (b) all points B such that P is
between A and B .
Definition of a Ray
𝑃𝐵 and 𝑃𝐴 are described as opposite rays if and
only if they are subsets of the same line and have a
common endpoint.

8. Relationships Among
Points, Lines and Planes

9. A postulate is a statement which is accepted as true
without proof.
A statement that needs to be proven is called a
theorem.
A corollary is a theorem whose justification follows
from another theorem.

10. A line contains at least two distinct points. A plane
contains at least three noncollinear points. Space
contains at least four noncoplanar points.
Postulate 1

11. If two distinct points are given, then a unique line
contains them.
Postulate 2 – Line Postulate
A B
l
The points A and B determine exactly one line l.
This means that there is one and only one line l that
contains points A and B.

12. If two distinct lines intersect, then they intersect at
exactly one point.
Theorem 1
Lines l and m
intersect at K.

13. Three collinear points are contained in at least
one plane and three noncollinear points are contained in
exactly one plane.
Postulate 3
The noncollinear
points A, B, and C are
contained in exactly one
plane P whereas the
collinear points D, E, and F
in at least one plane.

14. If two distinct planes intersect, then their
intersection is a line.
Postulate 4

15. If two points are in a plane, then the line that
contains those points lies entirely in the plane.
Postulate 5
A B
l
E
A line that lies in a plane divides the plane into two
subsets, each of which is called a half-plane. The dividing line
is called the edge.

16. If a line not contained in a plane intersects the
plane, then the intersection contains only one point.
Theorem 2
If line l and plane E
intersect two points A and B,
then line l lies in plane E by
Postulate 5. But this could
not be since line l is not
contained in plane E.

20. There is one-to-one correspondence between the
points of a line and the set of real numbers such that the
distance between two distinct points of the line is the

Two segments are congruent if and only if they have equal
measures. 𝐴𝐵 ≅ 𝐶𝐷 if and only if 𝐴𝐵 = 𝐶𝐷.

22. A point of a segment is its midpoint if and only if divides the
segment into two congruent segments. M is the midpoint of 𝑆𝑇 if
and only if 𝑆𝑀 ≅ 𝑀𝑇 .

On a ray there is exactly one point that is at a
given distance from the endpoint of the ray.

Any line, segment, ray,
or plane that intersects
a segment at its
midpoint is called a
bisector of the
segment.
If M is the midpoint of
𝑋𝑌, then the line 𝑘,
plane 𝑍, 𝑀𝑅 and 𝑀𝑇 all
bisect 𝑋𝑌.

two noncollinear rays with a common endpoint.

SIDES: 𝑌𝑋 , 𝑌𝑍

interior
exterior
An angle in a plane
separates it into three sets
of points:
a. the points in the interior
of the angle;
b. the points in the exterior
of the angle; and
c. the points on the angle
itself.
Thus, R is an interior point, P is an exterior point and Q is
a point on the angle.
An angle can also be named by a number or by its
vertex.

29. Two coplanar angles are adjacent if and only if
they satisfy three conditions: (1) they have a common
vertex , (2) they have a common side , and (3) they have
no common interior points.
Definition

30. EXAMPLE:
Use the figure to name the following:
a. An angle named by one
letter.
b. The sides of ∠3
c. ∠1 and ∠2 with letters

32. ∠𝐴 is an acute angle if and only if the measure
of 𝑚∠𝐴 is greater than 0 but less than 90. In symbol,
𝟎 < 𝒎∠𝑨 < 𝟗𝟎
∠𝐴 is a right angle if and only if the measure of
𝑚∠𝐴 is 90. In symbol, 𝒎∠𝑨 = 𝟗𝟎
∠𝐴 is an obtuse angle if and only if the measure
of 𝑚∠𝐴 is greater than 90 but less than 180. In
symbol, 𝟗𝟎 < 𝒎∠𝑨 < 𝟏𝟖𝟎
Definition

33. Given any angle, there is a unique real number
between 0 and 180 known as its degree measure.
Postulate 8 – Angle Measurement Postulate
In a half-plane with edge 𝐴𝐵 any point S between
A and B, there exists a one-to-one correspondence
between the rays that originate at S in that half-plane
and the real numbers between 0 and 180
To measure an angle formed by two of these rays,
find the absolute value of the difference of the
corresponding real numbers.
Postulate 9 – The Protractor Postulate

34. In a half-plane, through the endpoint of ray lying
in the edge of the half-plane, there is exactly one other
ray such that the angle formed by two rays has a given
measure between 0 and 180.
Postulate 10 – The Angle Construction Postulate

35. Two angles are congruent if and only if they have
equal measures. In symbols, ∠𝑋 ≅ ∠𝑌 if and only if
𝑚∠𝑋 ≅ 𝑚∠𝑌
Definition
All right angles are congruent.

of equal measure.
