The line l in the finite geometry of Desargues is a polar of the point P if there is no line
connecting P and a point on l.
Definition 4.2. The point P in the finite geometry of Desargues is a pole of the line l if there is no point
common to l and any line on P
Then I somehow have to show P is the pole of a and that b and c intersect at it
A B C
By definition, no line joins P and any of the points (at least three) on p. This implies that there is
no point common to p and any line on P, and so P satisfies the definition of a pole of p. This
information, along with Axioms [D2] and [D3], leads to the following theorems.
Theorem 4.2. Every line of the geometry of Desargues has exactly one pole.
Theorem 4.3. Every point of the geometry of Desargues has exactly one polar.
The existence of parallel lines is evident in the geometry of Desargues; however, their properties are
different than that of ordinary Euclidean parallels. For example, it can be seen in Figure 4.1 that the line
B, C, R has three different lines through point A’ parallel to it, but there is only one line through A’ that is
parallel to line A, B, T.
Additional results on the geometry of Desargues and the corresponding proofs are as follows
The theorem is If point P is on the polar of point Q, then point Q is on the polar of point P. so the
assumptions natin ngayun is that pag prove natin nito by the way of contradiction so lets us construct
So we assume that point P is on the polar of point q and the other assumption is the point q is not on
the polar of point p. meron tayung line L...
this is the line L containing the point p, so now p is on the polar of q yan yung assumption natin
now assume natin by the theorem 4.3 . Every point of the geometry of Desargues has exactly one
polar...
so ngayon since P is a point there must exist one polar of point p exactly one polar of point p
and we name the line of point P as line M so by the way of contradiction so let us show that point q is
not on line M which is the a polar of point p ,since is m is a polar of p no line connects p to any point of
m by the definition
so this implies that there is no point common to m and any line on p and so L and M
this line m and line l must not have any points common, however since q is not on line m
then by the axiom d6 If a line does not contain a certain point, then there is a point on both the
line and any polar of the point.
So dapat itong line at any polar of this point (q) must have a point in common
So line m and any polar of point q must have a point of intersection
So we recall natin ang polar ni point q is the line L so by the axioms d6
Line M and Line L must intersect, but again this is a contradiction
Because since line m is a polar of point p
Ang line through p its intersect sa line m and so line m and line l must not intersect
So this is the contradiction, hence the assumption that q is not a point on m must be rejected
And this is the result if ang point p is a polar of point q then q must lie on the polar of point p
So dapat ito siya ang diagram . okay ito ang Theorem 4.4 ito ang illustration ng proof niya.
Theorem 4.4. If point P is on the polar of point Q, then point Q is on the polar of point P.
Proof. Suppose that the line l containing point P is a polar of point Q. By Theorem 4.3, there exists a line
m that is a polar of point P. Assume that point Q is not on m. Since m is a polar of P, no line connects P
to any point on m by definition. This also implies that there is no point common to m and any line on P,
and so l and m does not have a point in common. However, since Q is not on line m, by Axiom [D6], line
m and any polar of Q, which is the line l, must have a point in common. We reach a contradiction.
Hence, the assumption that Q is not on m must be rejected. This proves the result.
