Linear Measure Line Segment - A measurable part of a line that consists of two points, called the endpoints, and all the points between them. A segment with endpoints S and T can be written as ST or TS. The length or measure of the segment is written as ST or TS.
Linear Measure Betweenness - A point is between two other points on the same line if and only if its coordinate is between their coordinates. (A-B-C if and only if a<b<c or a>b>c) Given three collinear points X, Y, and Z, if Y is between X and Z, then XY + YZ = XZ.
Linear Measure Congruent () – Segments that have the same length. When superimposed, things that are congruent coincide exactly. In figures, items that are congruent are given the same markings. Constructions – Drawings made with a straightedge and compass.
