1.2 - Segment Addition Postulate

Front

What is the 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 = 11 and BC = 22, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 11 + 22 = 33.

Front

Find MK if ML = 6 and LK = 8.

Back

MK = ML + LK = 6 + 8 = 14.

Front

If AC = 22 and AB = 11, what is BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 22 - 11 = 11.

Front

What is the value of x if AB = 11 and BC = 22?

Back

x = 11 + 22 = 33.

Front

If AB = 11 and AC = 14, what is BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 14 - 11 = 3.

Front

Find the length of AC if AB = 11 and BC = 22.

Back

AC = AB + BC = 11 + 22 = 33.

Front

If AB = 11 and AC = 22, what is the length of BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 22 - 11 = 11.

Front

What does it mean for point B to be between points A and C?

Back

It means that the distance from A to B plus the distance from B to C equals the distance from A to C.

Front

If AB = 20 and AC = 69, what is BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 69 - 20 = 49.
