Postulate

The document outlines various geometric postulates related to angles and triangle congruence, including the Angle Addition Postulate, Angle-Angle-Side (AAS), and Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criteria. It also describes properties of lines and planes, such as the uniqueness of lines determined by two points and the intersection of lines and planes. These foundational principles are essential for understanding geometric relationships and proofs.

Postulates

Angle Addition Postulate

If B is in the interior of angle AXD, then m AXB + m

BXD = m AXD.

Angle-Angle-Side (AAS)
If 2 angles and the NON-INCLUDED side of 1 triangle are congruent to the
corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Angle-Side-Angle (ASA)
If 2 angles and the INCLUDED side of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Congruence/Measurement Postulate
Two line segments have the same measure if and only if they are congruent. Two
angles have the same measure if and only if they are congruent.

Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate


If two lines cut by a transversal form congruent corresponding angles, then the lines
are parallel.

Corresponding Angles Postulate


If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are
congruent.

Hypotenuse-Leg (HL)
If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding
parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Segment Addition Postulate


If A, Z and B are collinear and Z is between A and B, then AZ + ZB = AB.

Side-Angle-Side (SAS)
If 2 sides and the INCLUDED angle of one triangle are congruent to the
corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Side-Side-Side (SSS)
If 3 sides of one triangles are congruent to the corresponding three sides of another
triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Other Postulates

If two points are on a plane, then the line containing them is also on the plane.

The intersection of two lines is a point.

The intersection of two planes is a line.

Three non-collinear points determine a unique plane.

Two points determine a unique line.
