 Postulate 2.8 "Ruler Postulate" (HW Postulate 1) | The points on any line or line segment can be paired with real numbers so that given any 2 points, A and B on a line, A corresponds to 0 and B corresponds to a positive real number. |
| Postulate 2.9 "Segment Addition Postulate" (HW Postulate 2) | If A, B, and C are collinear, and B is between A and C, then AB+BC=AC. or If AB+BC=AC, then B is between A and C. |
| Distance Formula | d = √[( x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²] |
| Midpoint Formula | (x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2 |
| Postulate 2.10 "Protractor Postulate" (HW Postulate 3) | Given line AB and a number r between 0 and 180, there is exactly one ray with endpoint A, extending on either side of line AB, such that the measure of the angle formed is r. |
| Postulate 2.11 "Angle Addition Postulate" | If B lies in the interior of <AOC, then m<AOB + m<BOC = m<AOC. If <AOC is a straight angle, and B is any point not on ray AC, then m<AOC + m<BOC = 180. |
| HW Postulate 5 | A line contains at least 2 points; a plane contains at least 3 points not all in one line; space contains at least 4 points not all in one plane. |
| HW Postulate 6 | Through any 2 points there is exactly one line. |
| HW Postulate 7 | Through any 3 points, there is at least one plane, and though any 3 noncollinear points there is exactly one plane. |
| HW Postulate 8 | If 2 points are in a plane, then the line that contains the points is in that plane. |
| HW Postulate 9 | If 2 planes intersect, then their intersection is a line. |
| HW Theorem 1-1 | If two lines intersect, then they intersect in exactly one point. |
| HW Theorem 1-2 | Through a line and a point not in the line, there is exactly one plane. |
| HW Theorem 1-3 | If 2 lines intersect, then exactly one plane contains the lines. |
| HW Theorem 2-1 "Midpoint Theorem" | If M is the midpoint of segment AB, then AM=1/2AB and MB=1/2AB. |
| HW Theorem 2-2 "Angle Bisector Theorem" | If ray BX is the bisector of <ABC, then m<ABX=1/2M<ABC and m<XBC=1/2m<ABC. |
| HW Theorem 2-3 "Vertical Angles Theorem" | Vertical angles are congruent. |
| HW Theorem 2-4 | If 2 lines are perpendicular, then they form congruent adjacent angles. |
| HW Theorem 2-5 | If 2 lines form congruent adjacent angles, then the lines are perpendicular. |
| HW Theorem 2-6 | If the exterior sides of 2 adjacent acute angles are perpendicular, then the angles are complementary. |
| Theorem 2.6 (HW Theorem 2-7) | Angles supplementary to the same angle or to congruent angles are congruent. Abbr. <'s suppl. to same < or congruent <'s are congruent |
| Theorem 2.7 (HW Theorem 2-8) | Angles complementary to the same angle or to congruent angles are congruent. Abbr. <'s compl. to same < or congruent <'s are congruent |
