Bellwork
1. Give definition of coplanar points. points that are on the same plane
2. What is another way to write line segment AB? BA or AB

3. Sketch a plane and two intersecting lines that lie in the plane.
# 4 & 5
Y

W V
X
4. What is another name for ZY? YZ Z
5. A student says the VW and VZ are opposite rays because they
have the same endpoint. Describe the error.
Point V must lie between points W and Z, which means the 3 points must be collinear.

1.2 Segments and Congruence

Postulate: A rule that is accepted w/o proof
Theorem: A rule that can be proved

Ruler Postulate: Points on a line can be matched with

real numbers (AKA coordinate)
Names of Points
A B
x1 x2
Coordinates of Points

Distance = absolute value of the difference

AB
A B
x1 x2

AB = x2 - x1
