  1. 1.3 Segments and Their Measures Learning Targets: I can use segment postulates. I can use the Distance Formula to measure distances.

  2. Postulates vs. Theorems Postulates – rules accepted without proof Theorems – rules that are proven

  3. Find the distance between two points. • How would you measure the length to the nearest millimeter of the following segment: G____________________________H

  4. Postulate 1 : Ruler Postulate • The points on a line can be matched one-to-one with the real numbers. The real number that corresponds to a point is the coordinate of the point. • The distance between points A and B, written as AB, is the absolute value of the difference between the coordinates of A and B. • AB is also called the length of segmentAB.

  5. Postulate 1 in simple terms… • Basically, you can find the length or distance of a line segment by measuring it.

  6. Postulate 2:Segment Addition Postulate • Two friends leave their homes and walk in a straight line toward the other’s home. When they meet one has walked 425 yards and the other has walked 267 yards. How far apart are their homes?

  7. Postulate 2:Segment Addition Postulate • If B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC • If AB + BC = AC, then B is between A and C

  8. Postulate 2 in simple terms… • Basically, you can add the length of one segment to the length of another segment, to find the total length of the segments put together.

  9. Guided Practice Two cars leave work and head towards each other. When the two cars meet, the first car has traveled 4.3 miles and the second car has traveled 7.1 miles. How far apart were the cars to begin with?

  10. Using Postulate 2… • A, B, C, and D are collinear points. Find BC if AC = 2x + 4, BC = x, BD = 3x + 1, and AD = 17.

  11. Guided Practice W, X, Y, and Z are collinear points. Find YZ if WX = 3x – 1, XY = 2x + 3, YZ = 5x, and WZ = 42.

  14. The Distance Formula Objective: • I can use the distance formula to find the distance between two points.

  15. The Distance Formula • The Distance Formula is a formula for computing the distance between two points in a coordinate plane. • The formula is: • d =

  16. Pythagorean Theorem Review c a b The sum of the squares of the two legs of a triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (right triangles only)
