Notation “Segment AB” “Length of segment AB”
The distance between A and B is the same as the ____________ of AB. LENGTH
Distance AM = 80 mi MB = 90 mi AB = AM + MB = 170 mi
Segment Addition Postulate If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC.
Example J is between H and K. Given the lengths of HJ, JK, and KH, find x.
K J H 5x + 7x = 96 * Segment Addition Postulate. 12x = 96 * Combine like terms. x = 8 * Divide both sides by 12.
