Segment Addition Postulate Level 2

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

Back

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

Front

If JK = 7 and LJ = 20, what is KL?

Back

KL = LJ - JK = 20 - 7 = 13.

Front

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

Back

A midpoint divides a segment into two equal parts.

Front

If T is the midpoint of SU, and SU = 6, what is ST?

Back

ST = SU / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3.

Front

Given that C is between A & B, which Segment Addition statement is correct?

Back

AC + CB = AB.

Front

If BC + CD = BD, what does this represent?

Back

This represents the Segment Addition Postulate where B, C, and D are collinear points.

Front

What is the formula to find the length of a segment given its endpoints?

Back

Length = |x2 - x1| for points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

Front

If AB = 10 and BC = 5, what is AC?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between segments in a straight line?

Back

The lengths of the segments add up to the length of the entire line segment.
