Angles Postulates & Theorems

This document defines and explains different types of angles, including acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles. It discusses relationships between angles like adjacent angles and bisectors. It introduces the angle addition postulate and explains the difference between postulates and theorems in geometry. Postulates are accepted as facts without proof, while theorems require proof. The document provides examples of geometry postulates and theorems but warns the reader not to copy the formal statements.

1.4 Angles
 An angle is formed by two rays that have the
same endpoint
 The two rays are called the sides of the angle,
and their common endpoint is the vertex of
the angle
 Angles can be named using three letters or in
some cases just one letter (the vertex)
Special Angles
 Acute angle – measure between 0 and 90 (it’s
a cute angle!)
 Right angle – measure 90
 Obtuse angle – measure between 90 and 180
 Straight angle - measure 180
How angles relate to
each other
 Adjacent angles are two angles in a plane that
have a common vertex and a common side,
but no common interior points
 Bisector of an angle is the ray that divides the
angle into two congruent adjacent angles
 Congruent Angles have equal measure
Angle Addition

1-5 Postulates &
Theorems
 Postulates: We  Theorems:
accept as fact Statements that
without proof require proof
 Assumptions are  You cannot
postulates assume that
theorems are
true unless they
have been proven
Postulates - do not
copy!!
 A line contains at least two
points; a plane contains at
least three points not all in
one line; space contains at
least four points all in one
plane.
 Through any two points there is
exactly one line.
More postulates - do
not copy!!
 Through any three points there
is at least one plane, and
through any three noncollinear
points there is exactly one
plane.
 If two points are in a plane,
then the line that contains the
points is in that plane.
 If two planes intersect, then
Theorems - do not
copy!!
 If two lines intersect, then
they intersect in exactly one
point.
 Through a line and a point not
in the line there is exactly
one plane.
 If two lines intersect, then
exactly one plane contains the
lines.
