ANSWER: A Mathematical System Can Be Defined As A Study of Shapes, Etc. It Has Four

1. The document discusses the key components of a mathematical system: undefined terms, defined terms, axioms and postulates, and theorems. It provides examples of each, such as points being undefined terms and polygons being defined terms. 2. It then discusses the axiomatic system in geometry, giving an example of points and lines defined by axioms about their relationships. 3. Real-life examples are given for undefined terms, defined terms, theorems, and postulates to further elaborate these concepts. Examples include points on a map, houses shaped as parallelograms, using the Pythagorean theorem to determine ladder height, and assuming a family is intelligent based on a student's statement

1. Distinguish the four (4) parts of a mathematical system. Cite an example for each.

ANSWER: A mathematical system can be defined as a study of shapes, etc. It has four
important parts, these are; Undefined terms, Defined terms, Axioms and Postulates, and
Theorems. Undefined terms are terms which can only be defined with the use of descriptions
and examples. There are no words to explain or define a term. Examples of undefined terms
in geometry include a point. A point cannot be seen. It has no particular size and shape, or in
other words, it is imaginary. Though, a point can locate a specific location or position.
Defined terms on the other hand, are terms that can be define using undefined terms and
other defined terms. Examples of defined terms include, polygon, line segments, angles,
circles, etc. Axioms and Postulates can be defined as assumptions or statements whose truth
is accepted or assumed without proofs. Axioms are referred to as truths in a specific study
while Postulates are referred to as truths in a general study. “A quantity is equal to itself” is
one of the main examples of Axioms and Postulates. Lastly, theorems are statements that
have been proved. One main example of theorem is the Pythagorean theorem: In a right
triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two
sides.
2. Discuss the axiomatic system in geometry. Provide an example illustration of an axiomatic
system.
ANSWER: Axiomatic system in geometry in what I have understood is a set of axioms and/
or postulates and primitive terms used to derive theorems. It means that, every theorem in
geometry, there are series of axioms, postulates, and / or primitive terms used or describe to
prove that certain theorem.
Example: Undefined terms are point, line
Axiom 1. Each line is a set of four points.
Axiom 2. Each point is contained by precisely two lines.
Axiom 3. Two distinct line which intersect do so in exactly one point.

Thus, all axioms stated above are true for the given illustration.
3. Elaborate undefined terms, defined terms, theorems and postulates. Cite one real-life
example for each.
ANSWER: Undefined terms are terms that doesn’t need a word definition to be understood.
It only needs examples, descriptions, and illustrations to be understand. One real – life
example of undefined terms is a point (looks like a needle) you see in google maps. Defined
terms are terms where we can define it using words. These are defined from the undefined
terms of the mathematical system. One real – life example of defined terms is a house formed
in a parallelogram shape. It has an angle, sides of its shape, and it shares common endpoint.
Postulates are statements where it is considered true even without valid proof or validation.
One real – example of it is: If Anna says all of the members of her family is intelligent, you
would believe her because you knew that Anna is an honor student in your school. You
assumed that all of the members of her family are intelligent. Theorems is defined as the
statements where it is considered true when proven using the axioms and/ or postulates. One
real – life example of theorems is painting a wall. A painter uses a ladder to paint the highest
part of a wall. So, he has to determine the height of the ladder used so that he can paint the
wall completely. This situation clearly using the Pythagorean theorem in real life.
4. Can angle and segment be bisected? Give an example.
ANSWER: Angles can be bisected and segment can be bisected. In geometry, a segment
bisector is defined as any geometric figure that can pass through the line segment. A segment
bisector divides the line segment exactly in half. While Angle bisector is defined as dividing
an angle into two smaller angles with equal measures. An example of segment bisector is a
line that is equally divided into two. An example of an angle segment is a tringle where it is
divided into half to form another triangle.
5. Differentiate the 3-triangle congruence postulate. Illustrate one example for each.
ANSWER: The 3 triangle congruence postulates are Side – Angle – Side Congruence
postulate (SAS), Angle – Side – Angle Congruence Postulate (ASA), and Side – Side – Side
Congruence Postulate (SSS). Side – angle – side congruence postulate is defined as triangles
in any pair of its sides and their included angle are congruent. While Angle – side – angle
congruence postulate is said to be congruent if triangles in any two angles and their included
side are equal in the triangles. Side – side – side congruence postulate is said to be congruent
if three sides of one triangle are congruent to the sides of another triangle.
EXAMPLES:
A A A A
SSS Congruence Postulates: SAS Congruence Postulates:
C C

B C B C
C C
ASA Congruence Postulates:

A A

B B

6. How will you identify if triangles are congruent under SSS Congruence Postulate?
ANSWER: Under Side – Side – Side Congruence Postulate, we can identify the triangles as
congruent if all of its sides are equal or has the same measures, and if the triangles are identical
of shape.
