1.3 Segments, Rays, and Distance Geometry 1.3 Segments, Rays, and Distance
Lines A and C are on the line. B is between A and C. In the symbol, may A and C be switched? YES!! C . B . A .
Segments On Segment , A and C are endpoints. In the symbol, may A and C be switched? YES!! C . A .
Rays On ray , A is the endpoint. In the symbol, may A and C be switched? NO!! A . C .
Opposite Rays Ray and ray are opposite rays if S is between R and T.
Lengths AC, without a symbol, is used to denote the length of . AC = 4
Number Line CD = _____ ? |15 – 7| = |8| = 8 CB = _____ ? |7 – (-5)| = |7 + 5| = |12| = 12 AB = _____ ? |-21 – (-5)| = |-21 + 5| = |-16| = 16 A B C D -21 -5 7 15
Postulates and Axioms Statements that are accepted without proof. They are the foundation for theorems, corollaries, and proofs of geometry.
Segment Addition Postulate If B is between A and C, then… AB + BC = AC. C . B . A .
Find x and BC. x + x + 6 = 24 2x + 6 = 24 2x = 18 x = 9 Find BC. = 9 + 6 = 15 AC = 24 x x + 6 . . . A B C
