1. Lesson 2.5

2.  In the diagram above, AB = CD.  Do you think that AC = BD?  Suppose that BC were 3cm. Would AC = BD?  If AB = CD, does the length of BC have any effect on whether AC = BD? ACBD Yes 7 cm Yes No 3 cm

3.  If a segment is added to two congruent segments, the sums are congruent (Addition Property) PRQS Given: PQ  RS Conclusion: PR  QS Proof: PQ  RS, so by definition of congruent segments, PQ = RS. Now, the Addition Property of Equality says that we may add QR to both sides, so PQ + QR = RS + QR. Substituting, we get PQ = QS. Therefore, PR  QS by the definition of congruent segments.

4.  If an angle is added to two congruent angles, the sums are congruent. (Addition Property) Is  EFH necessarily congruent to  JFG?

5.  If congruent segments are added to congruent segments, the sums are congruent. (Addition Property) Do you think that KM is necessarily congruent to PO?

6.  If congruent angles are added to congruent angles, the sums are congruent. (Addition Property) Is  TWX necessarily congruent to  TXW?

7.  If a segment (or angle) is subtracted from congruent segments (or angles), the differences are congruent. (Subtraction Property) If KO = KP and NO = RP, is KN = KR?

8.  If congruent segments (or angles) are subtracted from congruent segments (or angles) the differences are congruent. (Subtraction Property)  The only difference between Theorem 12 and 13 is that this one is plural.
