1-3 Measuring Segments To find and compare lengths of segments.
x = 4 x = 9 Algebra Review
Finding Segment Lengths
Absolute value of their difference
Example 1: Comparing Segments Lengths
Check Understanding
Example 2: Using the Segment Addition Postulate If DT = 60, find the value of x. Then find DS and ST.
Check Understanding EG = 100. Find the value of x. Then find EF and FG. 4x – x + 30 = 100 Segment Addition Postulate 6x + 10 = 100 Simplify like terms 6x = 90 Subtract 10 from both sides x = 15 Divide each side by 6 EF = 4x – 20 = 4(15) – 20 = 40 Substitute 15 for x FG = 2x + 30 = 2(15) +30 = 60
Midpoint
Example 3: Finding Lengths
Check Understanding XZ + ZY = XYSegment Addition Postulate x + x = 27Substitute 2x = 27Simplify x = 13.5Divide both sides by 2 So XZ = 13.5
1-3 Quiz The following questions are a review of what we covered today. They are designed to help you determine whether or not you understood the new concepts. Please make sure you make time to come and see me if you are missing more than you are getting right!
A. x = 3, EF = –6, FG = –6 B. x = 10, EF = 8, FG = 15 C. x = 10, EF = 32, FG = 45 D. x = 3, EF = 8, FG = 15
A. x = 10, ST = 60 B. x = 5, ST = 60 C. x = 10, ST = 45 D. x = 5, ST = 45
