I CAN: Find the length of a line segment given the coordinates of the endpoints. Correctly use the term congruent (≅) and use tick marks to identify congruent segments. Recite and use the Segment Addition Postulate to find segment lengths. Use midpoints and segment bisectors to find segment lengths.
Length of a line segment How are line segments and lines different? I CAN: Find the length of a line segment given the coordinates of the endpoints.
Example I CAN: Find the length of a line segment given the coordinates of the endpoints.
Segment Addition Postulate I CAN: Recite and use the Segment Addition Postulate to find segment lengths.
Congruent Segments Congruent: Congruent Segments: Midpoint: Segment Bisector: I CAN: Correctly use the term congruent (≅) and use tick marks to identify congruent segments.
Example using midpoint I CAN: Use midpoints and segment bisectors to find segment lengths.
