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.

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

Back

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

Front

If AB = 60 and AC = 78, what is the length of BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 78 - 60 = 18.

Front

If AB = 17, BC = 46, what is the length of AC?

Back

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

Front

How do you solve for x in the equation AB + BC = AC?

Back

Rearrange the equation to isolate x, substituting known values.

Front

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

Back

Length of a segment = Distance between two endpoints.

Front

If AB = 72 and AC = 78, what is the length of BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 78 - 72 = 6.

Front

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

Back

It means that B lies on the line segment connecting A and C.

Front

If AB = 66 and AC = 78, what is the length of BC?

Back

BC = AC - AB = 78 - 66 = 12.

Front

What is the relationship between the lengths of segments in a straight line?

Back

The sum of the lengths of the segments equals the length of the entire segment.
