Segment Addition Postulate Explained

This video tutorial focuses on line segments, introducing the segment addition postulate and congruent segments. It explains the difference between line segment notation and measurement, and provides examples to apply the segment addition postulate. The video also covers the concept of a midpoint and segment bisectors, with practical examples to enhance understanding.

What does the notation 'AB' without a bar over it represent?

• A point

• The length of a line segment

• An angle

• A line segment

If two line segments are congruent, what can be said about their lengths?

• They are perpendicular

• They are parallel

• They are collinear

• They are equal

According to the segment addition postulate, if B is between A and C, what is true?

• AB = BC

• AB - BC = AC

• AB + BC = AC

• AB + AC = BC

If PQ = 9 units and QR = 28 units, what is the length of PR?

• 21 units

• 37 units

• 19 units

• 17 units

If QR = 17 units and PR = 21 units, what is the length of PQ?

• 4 units

• 38 units

• 17 units

• 21 units

If SK = 13x - 5, KY = 2x + 9, and SY = 36 - x, what is the value of x?

• 3

• 1

• 2

• 4

What is the midpoint of a segment?

• A point that divides the segment into three equal parts

• A point that is at the end of the segment

• A point that divides the segment into two equal parts

• A point that is outside the segment

If H is the midpoint of segment GI, and GH = 5x + 2 and HI = 9x - 10, what is the value of x?

• 9

• 5

• 3

• 7

If G is the midpoint of segment FH, and FH = 6y - 2, what is the value of y if FG = 23?

• 6

• 7

• 8

• 9

What does it mean if a line bisects a segment?

• It is outside the segment

• It is perpendicular to the segment

• It is parallel to the segment

• It divides the segment into two congruent segments
