1 Def: Congruent Line Segments:
Congruent line segments are segments that are equal in measure. Ex: A C D B If Then AB = CD Geometry Leeson: Undefined Terms, Lines, Line Segments

2 Def: Midpoint The midpoint of a line segment is a point that divides the line segment into two congruent segments. A B M 1) 3) 5) 2) 4) 6) Geometry Leeson: Undefined Terms, Lines, Line Segments

3 X A B 1)  2) Def: Line Bisector
The bisector of a line segment is a line that intersects the line segment at its midpoint. A B M P Q 1) 2) X Geometry Leeson: Undefined Terms, Lines, Line Segments

4 Addition and Subtraction of Line Segments:
If several line segments belong to the same line, we can write addition and subtraction expressions using the names of these segments. R P S Geometry Leeson: Undefined Terms, Lines, Line Segments

5 Opposite Rays Opposite rays are two rays of the same line with a common endpoint and no other point in common. In the figure below, AB and AC are opposite rays because points A, B, C are collinear and points B and C are on opposite sides of point A. Geometry Leeson: Undefined Terms, Lines, Line Segments
