Define postulate and theorem.


POSTULATE
o A statement which is accepted as
true without proof.
o These statements can be used as
reasons in proving some
mathematical statements.
POSTULATE =
Geometry
AXIOM = Algebra
POSTULATE 1
A line contains at least two points.

Line m contains points A and B.


POSTULATE 2
A plane contains at least three non-
collinear points.

Through points A, B, and C, there is


exactly one plane (plane R). Plane R
contains at least three non-collinear
points.
POSTULATE 3
Through any two points, there is
exactly one line.

Two points determine a line.


POSTULATE 4
Through any three non-collinear points,
there is exactly one plane.

Through points A, B, and C, there is


exactly one plane (plane R).
POSTULATE 5
If two points lie in the plane, then the
line joining them lies in that plane.

AB lies in plane R.
POSTULATE 6
If two planes intersect, then their
intersection is a line.

Plane C and D intersects at AB.


The intersection of two planes is
a line.
Theorem
A statement that can be proven.

Once a theorem is proven, it can also


be used as a reason in proving other
statements.
Theorem 1
If two lines intersect, then they
intersect in exactly one point.

AC intersects BD at point E.
Point E is the point of
intersection.
Theorem 2
If a point lies outside a line, then
exactly one plane contains both the
line and the point.

Plane C contains AB and


point D.
Theorem 3
If two lines intersect, then exactly one
plane contains both lines.

The intersection of line a


and b contains in plane C
