Exploring the Angle Addition Postulate

This video tutorial covers the angle addition postulate, closely related to the segment addition postulate, focusing on angles instead of segments. It introduces key vocabulary such as angles, rays, and congruency marks. The tutorial explains angle bisectors, demonstrating how to construct them using a compass and straight edge. It also covers the angle addition postulate, showing how to find angle measures without a protractor. Finally, it applies algebraic equations to solve for angle measures, using examples to illustrate the process.
