Segment Addition Postulate

Front

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

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

Front

If T is the midpoint of segment SU, what can be said about the lengths ST and TU?

Back

ST = TU, meaning the two segments are equal in length.

Front

Given points A, B, and C on a line, if C is between A and B, which equation is correct?

Back

AC + CB = AB.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If RT = 36 and R is the midpoint of segment ST, what is the length of ST?

Back

ST = 2 * RT = 2 * 36 = 72.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be a midpoint of a segment?

Back

A midpoint divides a segment into two equal parts.

Front

If AB = 10 and BC = 5, what is the length of AC if C is between A and B?

Back

AC = AB + BC = 10 + 5 = 15.

Front

In the equation AC + CB = AB, what do AC and CB represent?

Back

AC and CB represent the lengths of the segments from A to C and from C to B, respectively.

Front

If BC + CD = BD, what does this statement imply about points B, C, and D?

Back

It implies that point C is between points B and D.

Front

If the length of segment XY is 12 and point Z is the midpoint, what are the lengths of XZ and ZY?

Back

XZ = ZY = 6.
