Ruler Postulate The points on any line can be paired with real numbers so that, given any 2 points A and B on the line, A corresponds to zero, and B corresponds to a positive number.
Segment Addition Postulate If Q is between P and R, then PQ + QR = PR. If PQ + QR = PR, then Q is between P and R. R P Q
