Segment Addition Postulate

Front

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

If point B is between points A and C, then AB + BC = AC.

Front

If B is between A and C and AB = 12, BC = 16, what is AC?

Back

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

If DF = 9x - 39 and EF = 58, what is the value of x?

Back

58 = 9x - 39; x = 11.

Front

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

Back

Length = |x2 - x1|, where x1 and x2 are the endpoints.
