Section 1-4 Measuring Angles and Segments
_______________________ What is the measure of segment DC? What is the measure of segment DE? What is the measure of segment BC?
Postulate 1-5 The distance between any two points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers AB | A – B |
Congruent Two segments with the same length are congruent. Segment BC DE is it the same as BC = DE
Segment Addition Postulate If three points A, B and C are collinear and b is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC
Angle Is formed by two rays with the same endpoint
Types of Angles Angles are measured in degrees Protractor – measures angles Acute Angle – degree measure between 0 and 90 degrees
Types of Angles Right Angle - measures exactly 90 degrees Obtuse Angle – measures between 90 and 180 degrees. Straight Angle – measures exactly 180 degrees
