Two undefined terms:

Postulates or axioms are statements
assumed to be true without proof.

An example of a postulate:
Any segment or angle is congruent to
itself. (Reflexive Property)

We have looked at two theorems so

Theorem 1: If two angles are

Theorem 2: If two angles are
straight angles, then they are
congruent.
Among the terms already defined in
this set of lessons are:
line segment, ray, angle, congruent,
acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle,
straight angle, polygon, triangle,
adjacent angles, union, intersection,
collinear, theorem, midpoint, trisection
points, angle bisector, angle trisectors,
and postulate.

Definition: A definition states the
meaning of a term or idea.
Definitions can be written as
conditional statements.
Definitions can be written as
conditional statements.
Conditional statements are written in
the form:
If p, then q
where p and q are declarative
statements.
If p, then q
The "if" part (p) of a statement is
called the hypothesis, and the "then"
part (q) is called the conclusion.
Another way to write
"If p, then q" is
Right angle: A right angle is an
angle with a measure of 90º.
Right angle: A right angle is an
angle with a measure of 90º.
If an angle is a right angle, then it
has a measure of 90º.
Right angle: A right angle is an
angle with a measure of 90º.
If an angle is a right angle, then it
has a measure of 90º.
Converse:
If an angle has a measure of 90º,
then it is a right angle.

The converses of all definitions are
true statements.
The converses of theorems and
postulates are not always true.
Theorem 1: If two angles are right
angles, then they are congruent.
Converse is false:
If two angles are congruent, then
they are right angles.
