Measuring Segments and Angles Lesson 1-4 Measuring Segments and Angles
Ruler Postulate The distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference between them. A B
Congruent Segments A B C D Two segments with the same length are congruent. A B C D A number (the measures are equal) The figures (segments are congruent)
Segment Addition Postulate If 3 points A, B, and C are collinear and B is between A and C, then A B C
Betweenness A B C A B C A B C 8 10 Collinear: if one point is between the other two, two of the distances add to the third. Non-collinear: the three points determine a triangle Triangle Inequality Theorem: the sum of the distances of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third. Ex: A triangle has sides of lengths 8 cm and 10 cm. What are possible lengths for the third side? A B C A B C A B C 8 10
