Front

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

The Segment Addition Postulate states that if point C is between points A and B, then AC + CB = AB.

Front

If C is between A and B, which statement is correct?

Back

If AB = 10 and AC = 4, what is CB?

Back

CB = AB - AC = 10 - 4 = 6.

Front

Determine if segments AC and CB are congruent if AC = 5 and CB = 6.

Back

False, because 5 is not equal to 6.
