Lesson 2-7 Proving Segment Relationships
Ohio Content Standards: Establish the validity of conjectures about geometric objects, their properties and relationships by counter-example, inductive and deductive reasoning, and critiquing arguments made by others.
Ohio Content Standards: Make and test conjectures about characteristics and properties (e.g., sides, angles, symmetry) of two-dimensional figures and three-dimensional objects.
Ohio Content Standards: Make, test and establish the validity of conjectures about geometric properties and relationships using counterexample, inductive and deductive reasoning, and paragraph or two-column proof.
Postulate 2.8Ruler Postulate The points on any line or line segment can be paired with real numbers so that, given any two points A and B on a line, A corresponds to zero, and B corresponds to a positive real number.
Postulate 2.9Segment Addition Postulate If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC.
Postulate 2.9Segment Addition Postulate If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC. If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C.
