Adding and Subtracting Segments in Geometry

This video tutorial demonstrates how to add, multiply, and subtract line segments using a straightedge and compass. It covers the process of adding segments AB and CD, constructing a segment 3AB by repeating segment AB three times, and subtracting segment AB from CD. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for each operation, emphasizing the use of geometric tools to achieve accurate results.

What is the first tool you need to use to add segments AB and CD?

• Protractor

• Straightedge

• Calculator

• Ruler
