points existence postulate

space contains at least four noncoplanar points. every plane contains

at least three noncollinear points. every line contains at least two
points

straight line postulate

two points are contained in one and only one line (two points
determine a line)

plane postulate
three noncollinear points are contained in one and only one plane (3
noncollinear points determine a plane)

flat plane postulate

if two points are in a plane, then the line containing the points is in
the same plane

plane intersection postulate

if two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line

segment addition postulate

point B is between points A and C if and only if A, B, and C are
collinear and AB+ BC= AC

parallel postulate
through a given point P not ona line L, exactly one line may be
drawn parallel to line L

angle addition postulate

if F is in the interior of LEHG, then mLEHF+ mLEHG

linear pair postulate

1) the angles in a linear pair are supplementary 2) if parallel lines are
cut by a transversal, so that a pair of alternate interior angles are
congruent 3) if two lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of
alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel

side-side-side congruence postulate (SSS)

if eachof the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of
another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent

side-angle-side congruence postulate (SAS)

if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to
two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent

angle-side-angle congruence postulate (ASA)

if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to
two angles and the included side of anther triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent

side-angle-angle congruence postulate (SAA)

if two angles and a side opposite one of them in one triangle are
congurent to the corresponding parts of anther triangle, then the two
triangles are congruent

General:

Reflexive Property

A quantity is congruent (equal) to itself. a = a

Symmetric Property

If a = b, then b = a.

Transitive Property

If a = b and b = c, then a = c.

Addition Postulate

If equal quantities are added to equal quantities, the sums are

equal.

Subtraction Postulate

If equal quantities are subtracted from equal quantities, the

differences are equal.

Multiplication Postulate

If equal quantities are multiplied by equal quantities, the

products are equal. (also Doubles of equal quantities are
equal.)

Division Postulate

If equal quantities are divided by equal nonzero quantities, the

quotients are equal. (also Halves of equal quantities are equal.)

Substitution Postulate

A quantity may be substituted for its equal in any expression.

Partition Postulate

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts.

Also: Betweeness of Points: AB + BC = AC
Angle Addition Postulate: m<ABC + m<CBD = m<ABD

Construction
Construction

Two points determine a straight line.

From a given point on (or not on) a line, one and only one
perpendicular can be drawn to the line.

The Supplement Postulate states that if two angles form a linear pair, then they
are supplementary.

Expansion Postulate: A line contains at least two

points. A plane contains at least three noncollinear
points. Space contains at least 4 noncoplanar
points.

Line Postulate: Any two points in space lie in

exactly one line.

Plane Postulate: Three distinct noncollinear points

lie in exactly one plane.

Flat Plane Postulate: If two points lie ina plane,

then the line containing these two points lies in the

same plane.

Plane Intersection Postulate: If two planes

intersect, then their intersection is exactly one line.

The exterior angle theorem is Proposition 1.16 in Euclid's Elements, which states that the measure of an exterior angle of
a triangle is greater than either of the measures of the remote interior anglesABC, BCA and CAB are the three interior
angles of the triangle.
