Reflexive Property | A quantity is congruent (equal) to itself. a = a |
Symmetric Property | If a = b, then b = a. |
Transitive Property | If a = b and b = c, then a = c. |
Addition Postulate | If equal quantities are added to equal quantities, the sums are equal. |
Subtraction Postulate | If equal quantities are subtracted from equal quantities, the differences are equal. |
Multiplication Postulate | If equal quantities are multiplied by equal quantities, the products are equal. (also Doubles of equal quantities are equal.) |
Division Postulate | If equal quantities are divided by equal nonzero quantities, the quotients are equal. (also Halves of equal quantities are equal.) |
Substitution Postulate | A quantity may be substituted for its equal in any expression. |
Partition Postulate | The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. Also: Betweeness of Points: AB + BC = AC Angle Addition Postulate: m<ABC + m<CBD = m<ABD |
Construction | Two points determine a straight line. |
Construction | From a given point on (or not on) a line, one and only one perpendicular can be drawn to the line. |
