Postulate
Postulate
It is statements that are accepted as true without proof.
These statements can be used as reasons in proving some
mathematical statement.
POSTULATE
1. Two points are contained in exactly one line.
h Line contains points A and B
A B
2. A plane contains at least three non-collinear points.
𝐷 Through point A, B and C, there is exactly one
B
plane (plane D). Plane D contains at least three
C
A non-collinear points
Postulate
3. Through any two points, there is exactly one line
h Two points determine a line.
A B
𝐷
B Through points A, B and C, there is
C exactly one plane, plane D.
A
Postulate
5. If two points lie in the plane, then the line joining them lies in that
plane.
c
B
A lies in the plane.
1. Point, line and plane are the bases in defining other terms in
geometry.
2. Point that lie on the same line are coplanar.
3. A postulate is statement that is only accepted after it has been
proven.
4. Two points always determine a line.
5. Points, lines and planes can be molded by real life object.
Activity 1
Direction: Respond to each statement and write AGREE or
DISAGREE.

5. Points, lines and planes can be molded by real life object. AGREE
Instruction:
◈Group yourselves into 3.
◈The question will flash on the screen.
◈Choose one representative to present your work.
◈You have 10 minutes to do this.
Direction:
State the postulate you would use to justify the statement made
about each figure.
