More terms • Points that lie in the same planeare coplanar. • Pointsthat lie on the same line are collinear.
definition • A postulate, or axiom, is a statement that is accepted as true without proof. Postulates about points, lines, and planes help describe geometric properties.
Postulates: points, lines, & planes • Through any 2points there is exactly one line. • Through any 3 non-collinear points there is exactly one plane containing them. • If 2 points lie on a plane, then the line containing those points lies in the plane.
Postulate: Intersection of lines & planes • If 2 lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point. • If 2 planes intersect, then they intersect in exactly one line.
