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 twodimensions. 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
However, in geometry, a line is composed of an
unlimited/infinite number of points. There are no spaces
between the point that make a line. You can always find a point
between any two other points.
The line above would b called line

Points are labeled with letters. (Points A, B, or C)
Lines are named by using any two points OR by using a single
lower-cased letter. Arrowheads show the line continues without
end in opposite directions.
Line

Collinear Points - Points D, E, and F above are called collinear
points, meaning they all lie on the same line.
Points A, B, and C are NOT collinear point since they do not lie
on the same (one) line.
Postulate: Any two points are always collinear.

or
is read ray AB.
Rays start at an initial point, here endpoint A, and
continues infinitely in one direction.
Ray
has a different initial point, endpoint B, and
continues infinitely in the direction marked.
Rays
and
are NOT the same. They have different
initial points and extend in different directions.
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.
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.

Planes
Collinear points are points that are on the same line.
F,G, and H are three collinear points.
J,G, and K are three collinear points.
J,G, and H are three non-collinear
points.
F, G, H, and I are coplanar.
F, G, H, and J are also coplanar, but
the plane is not drawn.
Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane.
F,G, and H are coplanar in addition to being collinear.
G, I, and K are non-coplanar and non-collinear.
Any three noncollinear points can name a plane.
Planes can be named by any three noncollinear points:
- plane KMN, plane LKM, or plane KNL
- or, by a single letter such as Plane R
(all name the same plane)
Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane:
- Points K, M, and L are coplanar
- Points O, K, and L are non-coplanar in the diagram
However, you could draw a plane to contain any three points

Why did we take the Absolute Value when calculating
distance?
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.
When you take the absolute value between two numbers, the
order in which you subtract the two numbers
does not matter
Definition: Congruence
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.
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."
Definition: Parallel Lines
Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the
same distance apart over their entire length. That is, they
do not intersect.

Segment Addition Postulate
If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC.
Or, said another way,
If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C.
AB

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.
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).

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.

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.
Theorem: locus between two points
All points on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment
connecting two points are equidistant from the two points.
Theorem: locus from a given line
All points equidistant from a given line is a parallel line.
Theorem: locus between two lines
The locus of points equidistant from two given parallel lines
is a parallel line midway between them.
locus: equidistant from two points
The locus of points equidistant from two points, A and B, is the
perpendicular bisector of the line segment determined by the
two points.
X
Y
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.
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.

Let us divide AB into 3 equal segments - we
could choose any number of segments.
1. From point A, draw
a line segment at an
angle to the given line,
and about the same
length. The exact
length is not
important.
2. Set the compass on A, and set its
width to a bit less than 1/3 of the
length of the new line.
Step the compass along the line,
marking off 3 arcs. Label the last C.
3. Set the compass width to CB.
4. Using the compass set to CB, draw an arc below A
5. With the compass width set to AC, draw an arc from B
intersecting the arc you just drew in step 4. Label this D.
6. Draw a line connecting B with D
7. Set the compass width back to AC and step along DB
making 4 new arcs across the line

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

Complementary Angles
A 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.
Definition: Adjacent Angles
are angles that have a common ray coming out of the vertex
going between two other rays. In other words, they are
angles that are side by side, or adjacent.
+
=
If the two supplementary angles are adjacent, having a
common vertex and sharing one side, their non-shared sides
form a line.
A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles whose noncommon sides on the same line. A line could also be called a
straight angle with 180°
Example
Solution:
Choose a variable for the angle - I'll choose "x"
Example
Let x = the angle
Since the angles are complementary we know their sum
must equal 90 degrees.
90 = 2x + x
90 = 3x
30 = x

An angle is 34° more than its complement.
What is its measure?
Hint: Choose a variable for the angle
What is a complement?
angle = complement + 34
angle = (90 - x) + 34
Answer
x = 90 - x +34
2x = 124
x = 62
69
An angle is 14° less than its complement.
What is the angle's measure?
Hint: What is a complement?
Choose a variable for the angle
angle = complement - 14
angle = (90 - x) - 14
x = 90 - x - 14
Answer
2x = 90 - 14
2x = 76
x = 38
70
An angle is 98 o more than its supplement.
What is the measure of the angle?
Hint: Choose a variable for the angle
What is a complement?
angle = (180 - x) + 98
x Answer
= 180 - x + 98
2x = 278
x = 139
71
An angle is 74° less than its supplement.
What is the angle?
angle = supplement - 74
x = (180 - x) - 74
Answer
2x = 180 - 74
2x = 106
x = 53
72
An angle is 26° more than its supplement.
What is the angle?
angle = supplement + 26
x = (180 - x) + 26
Answer
2x = 180 + 26
2x = 206
x = 106

Definition: Angle Bisector
bisects
Angle Bisector:
A ray or line which
starts at the vertex and
cuts an angle into two equal
halves
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.
