Geometry in the Real

World

power point came from

Point
A Point is
nothing
more then
a dot that
represents
a specific
location in
space and
is usually
named by
one

I chose polka dots

because they are points
that represent a certain
place in space.

Line
A line is a
straight line
that extends
infinitely, it
has no end
points and is
named by
two point on
a line or one
lower case
letter.

I chose this picture

because it shows 2
lines and a line
extends on both
ends infinitely just
as the road does.

Plane
A plane is
simply a flat
surface that
extends in all
directions
and is
named by
capital
letters or by
3 non-

I chose the
photograph for a
plane because a
floor is a flat
service that
extends in all
directions just as
a plane.

Segment
A
segment
is a line
that has
two
endpoint
s.

I chose this image of a

map because these lines
have points on both
ends.

Ray
A ray has
one end
point,
never ends
and is
named by
its
endpoint
and a point
that it
passes

I chose this picture

because this sign
demonstrates a ray,
because a ray has
one end point and
never ends.

Collinear
Colline
ar is
points
that lie
on the
same
line

I chose this picture

because each of
these statutes lie
on the same line.

Acute Angles
Acute
Angles
are
angles
that are
between
0-90
degrees.

I chose this picture

because these tongs
are similar to an
acute angle around
45 degrees.

Obtuse Angles
Obtuse
angles
are
angles
that are
between
90-180
degrees.

I chose this picture

because the top of the
roof is an example of an
obtuse angle close to
about 145 degrees.

Right Angle
A right
angle is a
angle that
measures
exactly 90
degrees
nothing
more or
less.

I chose this photo

because the side of
this laptop is at a 90
degree angle.

Perpendicular Lines
Perpendicul
ar lines
intersect to
form 4
right
angles.

I chose this picture

because it is letting
you know that the
road is a 4 way

Complementary Angles
Complement
ary Angles
are two
angles that
add up to 90
degrees.

I chose this picture

because each of these
show numbers in the
angles that will add up to
90 degrees.

Supplementary Angles
Supplementar
y Angles are
angles that
add up to 180
degrees.

I chose this photo

because the road of the
cars and branches of
the tree equal 180
degrees.

Postulates and Theorems

Postulates
A line contains at least
two points.
A plane contains at least
three non collinear
points.
Through any two points,
there is exactly one line.
Through any three non
collinear points, there is
exactly one plane.
If two points lie in a
plane, then the line
joining them lies in that
plane.

Theorems
If two lines intersect,
then they intersect in
exactly one point.
If a point lies outside a
line, then exactly one
plane contains both the
line and the point.
If two lines intersect,
then exactly one plane

contains both lines.
