Section 1.1
The most basic figures in
geometry are undefined terms,
which cannot be defined by using
other figures. The undefined
terms point, line, and plane are
the building blocks of geometry.

Congruent Segments
Congruent segments are segments that have
the same measure or length.

A physical model of a
ray are beams of light.
Collinear Points
Slides 13-15 Points that lie on the same line.
Non-collinear Points
Points that do not lie on the same
line.

COPLANAR POINTS
Points that lie in the same plane.
NON-COPLANAR POINTS
Points that do not lie in the same plane.
POSTULATE
A postulate, or axiom, is a statement that is

accepted as true without proof. Postulates
about points, lines, and planes help describe
geometric properties.
