Segment Addition Postulate & Midpoint

Front

If G is the midpoint of segment FH, find FG if FH = 30.

Back

FG = 15 (Since G is the midpoint, FG = FH/2)

If HJ=7x-27, find the value of x when HJ = 0.

Back

x = 7 (Set HJ = 0 and solve for x)

What is the Segment Addition Postulate?

Back

If point B is between points A and C, then AB + BC = AC.

Front

If segment AB = 4x + 2 and segment BC = 2x + 10, find x if AC = 30.

Back

x = 4 (Set up the equation: AB + BC = AC)

If segment XY = 12, what is the length of each half if Z is the midpoint?

Back

Each half is 6 (Since Z is the midpoint, XY/2 = 12/2)
