Its further development into a rigorous abstract mathematical subject was largely due to the efforts and contributions of ancient Greek mathematicians, including Thales, Pythagoras, Hippocrates, Eudoxus, Euclid, Archimedes, Appollonius, Heron, Menelaus, Ptolemy and Pappus, etc. HKEP Pythagoras (570 – 495 B.C.) Thales (624 – 546 B.C.) The most famous and influential geometry textbook ever written in ancient Greek is the Elements (幾何原本). The author was Euclid of Alexandria (about 325 – 265 B.C.). The whole book consists of a collection of definitions, postulates, axioms (common notions), propositions (theorems and constructions) and proofs. The propositions have progressed in small steps, and they are introduced and proved based on the already known definitions, postulates, axioms and other propositions that have been proved previously. This book is one of the oldest extant Greek mathematical works that provide an axiomatic deductive treatment of geometry. Almost all important theorems of geometry and arithmetic developed at around 300 B.C. by the Greek mathematicians were collected there and presented with a rigor which remained unparalleled for the following two thousand years. Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Euclidean Geometry The Elements starts with the basic definitions, postulates and axioms. The definitions explain the basic terms of geometry, such as point, line and angle, etc. The axioms or common notions are self-evident statements that any sensible person would accept them as true without proof, which are the usual rules for equations or inequalities. Similar to axioms, postulates are self- evident statements or unproved assertions about geometry. The distinction between an axiom and a postulate is that an axiom refers to a self-evident assumption common to many areas of inquiry1, while a postulate refers to a hypothesis specific to a certain line of inquiry, that is accepted to be true without proof. The English version of the Elements In this chapter, we will introduce the famous postulates and axioms of Euclidean geometry, and some basic definitions of geometry which are often taught at the primary or secondary level. Also, we will describe how to construct parallel lines and perpendicular lines by using straightedge and compasses only. That is why axioms are also known as common notions. 1 3 4 Essential Concepts of Geometry 1.2 Postulates of Euclidean Geometry According to the Elements written by Euclid, the followings are the basic postulates of plane geometry: 1. A straight line can be drawn between any two points. 2.A line can be extended indefinitely in both directions. 3. A circle can be drawn with a center and a radius. 4. All right angles are equal to each other. 5.(The parallel postulate) If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, then the two straight lines will meet on that side if they are produced indefinitely. The parallel postulate can also be stated as follows: Given a line L and a point P not on the line, there is only one line which can be drawn through P and parallel to L. Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Euclidean Geometry 1.3 Axioms (Common Notions) Apart from the above five postulates, the Elements also states the following axioms of plane geometry: 1. Things that equal to the same thing also equal to one another. (Transitive property) 2.If equals are added to equals, then the wholes are equal. 3. If equals are subtracted from equals, then the remainders are equal. 4.Things that coincide with one another equal to one another. (Reflexive property) 5. The whole is greater than the part. f i n i ti on De 1.4 Basic Definitions of Euclidean Geometry 1.4.1 •A point is that which has no part. It has no length, width or thickness. •A line is a set of continuous points that can extend indefinitely in either of its direction. It has length but without width and thickness. f i n i ti on De •A plane is a flat surface. It has length and width but without thickness. f i n i ti on De 1.4.2 1.4.3 A line segment is a part of a line consisting of two end points and the set of all points between them. A ray is a part of a line consisting of an end point, and the set of all points on one side of the end point. 5 f i n i ti on De Essential Concepts of Geometry f i n i ti on De 1.4.4 1.4.5 Collinear points are points lying on the same line. A broken line is composed of a series of line segments joining end to end, and they do not lie on a single straight line. Note: In a broken line, any two adjacent segments share the same end f i n i ti on De point. 1.4.6 f i n i ti on De 6 1.4.7 Coplanar points are points lying on the same plane. An angle is the union of two rays having a common end point. An angle can be represented by ∠AOB (or ∠BOA), where O is the vertex of the angle and OA, OB are the sides of the angle. Note: The lengths of the sides of an angle do not affect the measure of the angle and the common measurment unit of an angle is either in degree or in radian1. An angle can be formed by rotating a ray at its endpoint. For example, we can form an angle by rotating OA at the vertex O to become OB. Then, OA is called the initial side and OB is called the terminating side2. Radian measure is included in Module 2 (Extended Part) of the Hong Kong Senior Secondary Mathematics Curriculum. It is covered in the learning unit ʻMore about Trigonometric Functions’. 1 The term ‘terminal side’ is often used in Hong Kong Mathematics textbooks. 2 f i n i ti on De Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Euclidean Geometry f i n i ti on De 1.4.8 1.4.10 An acute angle is an angle q such that 0° < q < 90°. f i n i ti on De A right angle is an angle of 90°. f i n i ti on De 1.4.9 1.4.11 An obtuse angle is an angle q such that 90° < q < 180°. f i n i ti on De A complete angle1 is an angle of 360°. 1.4.12 A reflex angle is an angle q such that 180° < q < 360°. The term ‘round angle’ is often used in Hong Kong Mathematics textbooks. 1 7 Essential Concepts of Geometry f i n i ti on De 1.5 Relations between Angles with a Common Vertex 1.5.1 f i n i ti on De 8 1.5.2 Two angles are called adjacent angles if they have a common vertex and a common side. Two angles are called complementary angles 1 if the sum of their measures is 90°. This term is often introduced in the topic ‘Trigonometric Identities of Complementary Angles’ in Hong Kong Mathematics textbooks. For example, the angles q and (90° – q ) in the trigonometric identity cos (90° – q ) = sin q are complementary angles. 1 f i n i ti on De Chapter 1 Basic Concepts of Euclidean Geometry f i n i ti on De 1.5.3 Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of their measures is 180°. When angles share a common vertex, they are called angles at a point. f i n i ti on De 1.5.4 1.5.5 When two straight lines intersect, the non-adjacent angles formed are called vertically opposite angles. 9 10 Essential Concepts of Geometry 1.6 Relations between Angles formed by Two Lines f i n i ti on De and a Transversal 1.6.1 The pair of angles on the same side of the transversal but inside the two lines are called interior angles on the same side of the transversal. e.g.1. ∠c and ∠h are interior angles on the same side of the transversal. f i n i ti on De 2. ∠b and ∠e are interior angles on the same side of the transversal. 1.6.2 The pair of angles on the same side of the transversal but outside the two lines are called exterior angles on the same side of the transversal1. e.g.1. ∠d and ∠g are exterior angles on the same side of the transversal. f i n i ti on De 2. ∠a and ∠f are exterior angles on the same side of the transversal. 1.6.3 Corresponding angles are a pair of angles in matching corners. e.g.1. ∠a and ∠e are corresponding angles. 2. ∠b and ∠f , ∠c and ∠g, ∠d and ∠h are also corresponding angles. This term is seldom introduced in Hong Kong Mathematics textbooks. 1
