Segment Addition Practice

Front

What is Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

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

Front

If AB = 12 and BC = 16, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 12 + 16 = 28.

Front

Find DE if D is between A and E and AD = 10, AE = 26.

Back

DE = AE - AD = 26 - 10 = 16.

Front

If AB = 12 and BC = 12, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 12 + 12 = 24.

Front

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

Back

Length of a segment = Distance between its endpoints.

Front

If KL = 6 and LM = 4, what is KM?

Back

KM = KL + LM = 6 + 4 = 10.

Front

What does it mean for points to be collinear?

Back

Collinear points are points that lie on the same straight line.

Front

If AB = 12 and AC = 28, what is BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 28 - 12 = 16.

Front

What is the relationship between segments AB, BC, and AC if B is between A and C?

Back

AB + BC = AC.

Front

If the length of segment AB is 12, what is the length of segment BA?

Back

The length of segment BA is also 12, as lengths are always positive.
