1. Through any two points, there is exactly?

Explanation

In Euclidean geometry, two points determine a unique line. Connecting any two distinct points results in one straight line.

About This Quiz
Geometric Postulates, Theorems, And Properties - Quiz

Geometrical Postulates, Properties, and Theorems from the McGraw-Hill textbook.

2. Through any three non-collinear points, there...?

Explanation

In geometry, through any three noncollinear points, there is exactly one plane that can be drawn. This is a fundamental concept in Euclidean geometry.

Submit
3. A line contains at least how many points?

Explanation

In geometry, a line is defined as having at least two distinct points. These points determine the direction and length of the line. If a line had only one point, it would not have a length or direction, making it a degenerate case. Having three or more points would define a different geometric construct, like a polygon or curve.

Submit
4. A plane contains at least how many non-collinear points?

Explanation

In Euclidean geometry, a plane is defined by a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. To uniquely define a plane, at least three non-collinear points are necessary. If only two points are given, they could be collinear, and if more than three points are given, they may not all lie on the same plane.

Submit
5. If two points lie in a plane, then the entire line containing those points...

Explanation

The correct answer is that the entire line lies in the plane as the two points fully define the line within the same plane.

Submit
6. If two lines intersect, then their intersection is....?

Explanation

When two lines intersect, they do so at a single point in three-dimensional space. This point is the only common point between the two lines as they cross each other.

Submit
7. What is the Ruler Postulate?

Explanation

The Ruler Postulate establishes the relationship between points on a line or line segment and real numbers.

Submit
8. What does the Segment Addition Postulate state?

Explanation

The Segment Addition Postulate states that if A, B, and C are collinear points, then point B is between points A and C if and only if the sum of the lengths AB and BC is equal to the length of AC.

Submit
9. What does the Protractor Postulate state?

Explanation

The Protractor Postulate states that any angle can be uniquely measured using real numbers between 0 and 180 degrees, allowing for precise angle measurement.

Submit
10. What is the Angle Addition Postulate?

Explanation

The Angle Addition Postulate is a fundamental concept in geometry that helps in understanding how angles behave when they are adjacent to each other.
