The document outlines 6 postulates and 3 theorems about basic geometric concepts: Postulate 1 states that a line contains at least two points. Postulate 2 states that a plane contains at least three non-collinear points. Postulate 3 states that through any two points there is exactly one line. The remaining postulates define properties of points and lines in planes. Theorem 1 states that if two lines intersect they do so at exactly one point. Theorem 2 states that if a point lies outside a line, exactly one plane contains both. Theorem 3 states that if two lines intersect, exactly one plane contains both lines.

Postulates are statements that are generally accepted as true even without

proof. These are commonly used in proving some mathematical statements.

Postulate 4 : Through any three non-collinear points, there is exactly one


plane.

Postulate 5 : If two points lie in the plane, then the line joining them lies in the
that plane.

A AB lies in plane C.

Postulate 6 : If two planes intersect, then their intersection is a line.

Plane C and Plane D intersects at


AB, the intersection of two plane
B is a line.
Theorems are statements that can be proven. Once it is proven, it can also
be used as a reason in proving other statements.
