Basic Geometry Postulates Guide

This document outlines several basic postulates of geometry about points, lines, and planes. It defines a postulate as a statement accepted as true without proof, then lists six postulates: any two points define a single unique line; a line contains at least two points; if two lines intersect they do so at a single point; any three non-collinear points define a single unique plane; a plane contains at least three non-collinear points; if two points are in a plane, the line between them is also in the plane; and if two planes intersect, they do so along a single line.

 Identify postulates using diagrams.

 Identify and use basic postulates about


points, lines, and planes.

 A postulate or an axiom is a statement that is


accepted as true without proof.
Through any two points there exists exactly
one line.
A line contains at least two points.
If two lines intersect, then their intersection is
exactly one point.
Through any three non-collinear points, there
exists exactly one plane.
A plane contains at least three non-collinear
points.
If two points lie in a plane, then the line
containing them lies in the plane.
If two planes intersect, then their intersection
is a line.
