Today’s plan • Greeting • Lesson: Navigation & the Protractor Postulate • Homework / Questions • Clean-up
Bearing / Azimuth “The US Army defines the azimuth between Point A and Point B as the angle, measured in the clockwise direction, between the north reference ray and Ray AB. For example, if the bearing between Point A and Point B is E 45° S, the azimuth between Point A and Point B is 135°.”[2][3]
Measurement of Angles • Definitions: • A degree is 1/360 of the distance rotated in a circle. • A rotation is the set of positions that are occupied by a ray as it turns 360°. • A half-rotation is the set of positions for 180°.
Angle Measure:The Protractor Postulate • The Protractor Postulate: • It is possible to number the rays in a half-rotation with coordinates from 0 to 180, such that positive number differences measure angles. • Note: This is the angle version of the Ruler Postulate. • This means if rays OA and OB have coordinates a° and b°, AOB = |a – b|. A B O
Betweenness of Rays • Definition: • A ray OB is between rays OA and OC (in the same half-rotation) iff its coordinate is between theirs. • As with points (A-B-C), “OB is between OA and OC” is abbreviated “OA-OB-OC”. A B O C
Angle Addition:The Betweenness of Rays Theorem • If OA-OB-OC, then AOB + BOC = AOC. A B O C
Methods of bisection • Compass and straightedge • Ruler (for segments) or protractor (for angles) • Paper folding
Definitions • A point is the midpoint of a line segment iff it divides the segment into two equal segments. • A line bisects an angle iff it divides the angle into two equal angles. • Two things are congruent iff they would coincide exactly when superimposed: C A D B
Definitions, cont. • A corollary is a theorem that is easy (usually trivially easy) to prove as a consequence of another theorem or a postulate.
Two Basic Corollaries • Corollary of the Ruler Postulate: • A line segment has exactly one midpoint. • Corollary of the Protractor Postulate: • An angle has exactly one ray that bisects it.
