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 = 17 and BC = 46, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 17 + 46 = 63.

Front

If AC = 22 and AB = 7, what is BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 22 - 7 = 15.

Front

If DE = 6 and EF = 5, what is DF?

Back

DF = DE + EF = 6 + 5 = 11.

Front

If AB = 17 and AC = 63, what is BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 63 - 17 = 46.

Front

If AB = 7 and BC = 46, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 7 + 46 = 53.

Front

If DE = 20 and DF = 21, what is EF?

Back

EF = DF - DE = 21 - 20 = 1.

Front

If AB = 11 and BC = 19, what is AC?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 11 + 19 = 30.

Front

If AC = 33 and AB = 11, what is BC?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Length of a segment = Distance between two endpoints.
