Segment Addition Postulate

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 AB = 4 and BC = 3, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 4 + 3 = 7.

Front

If C is between A and B, and AC = 5 and CB = 10, what is AB?

Back

AB = AC + CB = 5 + 10 = 15.

Front

Find the length of segment DE if D is at 2 and E is at 8.

Back

DE = E - D = 8 - 2 = 6.

Front

If GH = 8 and HI = 17, what is the length of GI?

Back

GI = GH + HI = 8 + 17 = 25.

Front

Given that C is between A and B, which statement is correct? AC + CB = AB, AC + AB = CB, AB + BC = AC, CA + CB = CA

Back

AC + CB = AB.

Front

If JK = 7 and LJ = 20, find KL.

Back

KL = LJ - JK = 20 - 7 = 13.

Front

What is the formula to find the length of a segment?

Back

Length of a segment = |end point - start point|.

Front

If A is at 1 and B is at 5, what is the length of AB?

Back

AB = |5 - 1| = 4.

Front

If point D is at 3 and point E is at 10, what is DE?

Back

DE = |10 - 3| = 7.
