Question 20

Postulate 9

Answer 20

The Plane Separation Postulate

Question 21

State the Plane Separation Postulate

Answer 21

Given a line and a plane containing it. The points of the plane that do not lie on the line form two sets such that
1) each of the sets is convex, and
2) if P is in one of the sets and Q is in the other, then the segment (line PQ) intersects the line

Question 22

State the Plane Separation Postulate

Answer 22

Given a line and a plane containing it. The points of the plane that do not lie on the line form two sets such that

2) if P is in one of the sets and Q is in the other, then the segment (line PQ) intersects the line

Question 23

Half planes pt 1

Answer 23

Given a line L and a plane E containing it, the two sets described in the Plane Separation Postulate are called half planes or sides of L, and L is called the edge of each of them.

Question 24

Half planes pt2

Answer 24

If P lies in one of the half planes and Q lies in the other, then we say that P and Q lie on opposite sides of L

Question 25

Half planes pt 1 and 2

Answer 25

Given a line L and a plane E containing it, the two sets described in the Plane Separation Postulate are called half planes or sides of L, and L is called the edge of each of them. If P lies in one of the half planes and Q lies in the other, then we say that P and Q lie on opposite lines of L
