Notes 1.2 Segment Additional Postulate
Postulate:
______________________________________________________________________
Theorem:
______________________________________________________________________
Segment Addition Postulate: If ________ is between ________ and ________, then
__________ + __________ = ___________.
Remember: “The ____________ is equal to the ___________________________.”
Example:
Congruent Segments: segments that have the same __________.
a) AB  PQ is read "segment AB is _________________ to segment PQ."
b) AB = PQ is read "AB equals PQ" or “The length of segment AB equals the length
of segment PQ.”
c) Since AB and PQ represent numbers, they are equal.
In contrast, AB and PQ represent figures and are called congruent.

Example: Point S is between R and T on RT . Us e the given information to write an equation in
terms of x. Solve the equation. Then, find RS and ST.
a. RS = 2x + 10
ST = x – 4
RT = 21
b. RS = 3x – 16
ST = 4x – 8
RT = 2x + 36

Notes 1.4: Angle Relationships
1. An angle is a figure formed by 2 __________that have the same endpoint.
2. The rays of the angle are called __________ of the angle; the endpoint is called the ______________.
An angle is named three ways:
1) by 3 capital letters, but the vertex must be in the middle.
_______ or ________
A
2) by a number placed inside the angle.
_________

3) by the vertex...if there is only one angle with that vertex. Even though the angle is named four
different ways, it is the same angle.
