Calculating Distances From Two Points

In a line segment XYZ, if XY = 5 and YZ = 3, what is the length of XZ?

• 8

• 4

• 7

• 10

In a real-life scenario, how can the addition postulate be applied to measure distances?

• By dividing the lengths of different segments

• By multiplying the lengths of different segments

• By adding the lengths of different segments or distances together.

• By subtracting the lengths of different segments

What is the significance of the addition postulate in geometry and real-world applications?

• It is used for calculating the area of 3D shapes

• It helps in solving algebraic equations

• It is only applicable to abstract mathematical concepts

• It helps in determining the position of points and distances between them.

Provide an example of a real-life situation where the addition postulate is used to calculate distances or lengths.

• Surveying

• Farming

• Astronomy

• Cooking

This grid represents the layout of Valerie's math class. Each unit on the grid represents 1 square foot.

Valerie's desk is located at (-3, -4)

The teacher's desk is located at (5, -4)

The storage closet is located at (-3, -7)

What is the distance, in feet, from Valerie's desk to the storage closet?
