Warm-up Identify the following from the picture #1 2 Rays #2 1 Line Segment #3 1 Line #4 2 Parallel Lines Get out your homework and your notes.
Today’s Agenda Find the length of segments Review of Cartesian Plane
1-D Distance Formula for finding distance on the number line: |a – b| a, b numbers a is the smaller number Distance AB = |-7 - -4| = |-7 + 4| = |-3| = 3
Congruent To have the same distance.
Congruent Segments Segments with the same distance. AB CD
Equal Precisely the same in every way =
Midpoint A point that divides a segment into two congruent pieces.
Examples
Segment Addition Postulate If A, B, and C are collinear and B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC
