Pasch’s theorem


Theorem.

(Pasch) Let abc be a triangleMathworldPlanetmath withnon-collinear vertices a,b,c in a linear ordered geometry.Suppose a line intersects one side, say open line segmentPlanetmathPlanetmath ab¯, at apoint strictly between a and b, then also intersects exactly one of the following:

bc¯    ac¯    c.
Proof.

First, note that vertices a and b are on opposite sides of line . Then either c lies on , or c does not. if c does not, then it must lie on either side (half plane) of . In other words, c and a must be on the opposite sides of , or c and b must be on the opposite sides of .If c and a are on the opposite sides, has a non-empty intersection with ac¯. But if c and a are on the opposite sides, then c and b are on the same side, which means that bc¯ does not intersect .∎

RemarkA companion property states that if line passes through one vertex a of a triangle abc and at least one other point on abc, then it must intersect exactly one of the following:

b    c    bc¯.

Of course, if passes through b, ab¯ must lie on . Similarly, ac¯ lies on if passes through c.
