Space
Set of all points
Collinear points
Points are collinear iff they are on the same line
Coplanar points
Points are coplanar iff they are on the same plane
Noncollinear points
Points are not collinear iff they are not on the same line
Noncoplanar points
Points are not coplanar iff they are not on the same plane
Postulates
A statement that is accepted to be true without proof
(Def.) In Betweeness of Points
B is between A and C iff they are collinear + the distance from A to B plus the distance from B to C equals the distance from A to C.
Shorter Version: A-B-C iff they are collinear and AB + BC = AC
(Def.) Midpoint
A point is a midpoint of a segment iff it divides the segment into 2 congruent segments or 2 equal lengths + collinear to the other points
(Def.) Congruent Segments
Segments are congruent iff their lengths are equal
(Def.) Acute angle
An angle is acute iff its measure is less that 90 degrees
(Def.) Right angle
an angle is a right iff its measure is 90 degrees
(Def.) Obtuse angle
An angle is obtuse iff its measure is greater than 90 degrees and less that 180 degrees
(Def.) Straight angle
an angle is a straight angle iff its measure is 180 degrees
(Def.) Adjacent
share a ray
(Def.) Betweeness of Rays
Ray OA - Ray OB - Ray OC iff they are coplanar and the measure of (m <AOB) + measure of (m <BOC) = measure of (m <AOC)
(Def.) Congruent angles
Angles are congruent iff the measures are equal
(Def.) Midray
A ray is a midray of an angle iff it divides the angle into 2 congruent angles or into 2 equal measures
(Def.) Complementary Angles
2 angles are complementary iff the sum of their measures is 90 degrees
(Def.) Supplementary Angles
2 angles are supplementary iff the sum of their measures is 180 degrees
(Def.) Perpendicular Lines
Lines are perpendicular iff they form right angles
