Algebra.Com's Answer #505432 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! there is no accompanying figure. \n" ); document.write( "however, the postulates that reference lines are:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Postulate 1: A line contains at least two points.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Postulate 3: Through any two points, there is exactly one line.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "the statement you want to explain using the postulate is: \n" ); document.write( "Points R and Z are in line ZR.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i would guess that postulate 3 would be the one to explain it, although you could also use postulate 1, since the line ZR is defined as the line between the points Z and R.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "postulate 3, however, is more to the point, since postulate 1 indicates there may be more points on the same line while postulate 3 indicates that there is only one line between 2 points, that line being the line labeled ZR.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i would go with postulate 3.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a good reference of postulates and theorems in geometry can be found at the following link:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://www.riverview.wednet.edu/parade/teachers/mcclintict/Geometry-1/Geo-PostulatesTheorems-List-2011.pdf\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i think postulates and theorems relating to lines is on page 3.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
