Sec 1.2 Measuring and Constructing Segments Definitions: • Coordinate • Distance • Length • Congruent Segments • Construction • Between • Midpoint • Bisect • Segment Bisector
Postulates • Segment Addition: If B is between A and C then AB +BC = AC A B C • Ruler Postulate: The points on a line can be put into a one to one correspondence with the real numbers
Just an FYI • Congruent symbol ≅ is used for figures • Equal sign = is used for numbers • Congruent segments are segments that have the same length. • In the diagram, PQ = RS, so PQRS. • “segment PQ is congruent to segment RS.” • Tick marks are used in a figure • to show congruent segment
