Warm Up 1. 70 2. Use a ruler to draw a large triangle. Measure the angles of the triangle. Make a conclusion about the sum of the measure of the angles of a triangle.
1.3 Collinearity, Betweeness, and Assumptions Collinear: points on the same line Points ABC are collinear A B C Non-collinear: points that do not lie on the same line B A You can connect AB, AC, or BC, but ABC does not form a line. C
Betweeness of Points: To have betweeness of points, all points must be on the same line. Z Y X Z is between Y and X Y Z X X is not “between” Y and Z
Triangle Inequality: For any three points, only two possibilities: Collinear: all points are on the same line. (2 Distances add up to the third distance) Noncollinear: 3 points determine a triangle Triangle Inequality: the sum of two sides is always greater than the third side. Why is this? Let’s take a ruler and measure to see if this is true!!!
Assumptions from diagrams: Can assume: Straight lines Straight angles Collinear points Betweenness of points Relative position of points
Can’t Assume! Right angles Congruent segments Congruent angles Relative size of angles Relative size of segments
Example: B D A C E Assume: AD and BE straight lines C, D, E non-collinear C is between B and E E is to the right of A
Example: B D A C Can’t Assume: <BAC is a right angle CD = DE <B = <E <CDE is obtuse BC is longer than CE E
