1.2 – Use Segments and Congruence Geometry
Learning Target By the end of today’s lesson we will be able to successfully use segment postulates to identify congruent segments.
Vocabulary Postulate / Axiom: Theorem: A rule that is accepted without proof Theorem: A rule that can be proved
Vocabulary Distance “Ruler Postulate”: Congruent: Distance between two Points. Congruent: Things that have the same shape Different than length!
Measure the length of to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
When three points are collinear, you can say that one point is BETWEEN the other two.
Segment Addition Postulate If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = _____ If AB + BC = AC, then B is between ___ and ___
Use the diagram to find KL
Use the diagram to find QS and PQ.
Point A is between M and T on Point A is between M and T on . Use the given information to write an equation in terms of x. Then, solve the equation. MA = 4x + 9 AT = x – 5 MT = 34
Line segments that have the same length are called CONGRUENT SEGMENTS.
Plot F(4, 5), G(–l, 5), H(3, 3), and J(3, –2) on the coordinate plane. Then determine whether and are congruent.
Plot A(–2, –1), B(4, –1), C(3, 0), and D(3, 5) on the coordinate plane Plot A(–2, –1), B(4, –1), C(3, 0), and D(3, 5) on the coordinate plane. Then determine if and are congruent.
Learning Target By the end of today’s lesson we will be able to successfully use segment postulates to identify congruent segments.
