Accepted…without proof!

First postulateSAP


 

If B is between A and C, then…….. AB + BC = AC


B is between A and C. AB = x, BC = x + 6, and AC = 24 Find AB and BC.

Draw a diagram FIRST!!!

Objective- Calculate the midpoint of a segment.


Same size and shape

Symbol: ≅ Notation: XY ≅ EF

X E

Y  

 

F

Congruent Segments = same length Notation: XY = EF How to mark congruent segments: More than one pair of congruent segments?




Point that divides a segment into two congruent segments



The definition of a midpoint says that two segments are congruent!!!




Find the coordinate of the midpoint of segment AB if the coordinate of A is -7 and the coordinate of B is 15.



Draw the diagram first!


 

E is the midpoint of DF. If DE = 4x + 5 and EF = 49, find the value of x.


Line, segment, ray or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint. The definition of a bisector says that a point is a midpoint!!! Segment Bisector What is the difference between a midpoint and a bisector?

  

Draw two points P and Q on the patty paper. Fold the paper so that fold line f contains both P and Q. Unfold the paper Now fold so that P falls on Q. Call the second fold g.


 

Lay the paper flat and label the intersection of f and g as point X. How are points P, Q, and X related? How is line g related to segment PQ?
