Questions and Answers

What is the definition of congruence?

  • A property that only applies to angles.
  • Segments that have different measures.
  • Segments that have the same measure. (correct)
  • A measure of angle relationships.

What does the midpoint of a segment do?

It divides the segment into 2 equal parts.

What does the Segment Addition Postulate state?

If A, B, and C are collinear points and B is between A and C, then AB + BC = AC.

The Reflexive Property of Congruence states that for any segment AB, AB ≅ BC.

Study Notes

Definitions of Key Terms

  • Congruence: Segments AB and CD are congruent if they have equal measures, represented as AB ≅ CD implies AB = CD.
  • Midpoint: The midpoint (M) of a segment divides it into two equal parts, ensuring AM = MB for segment AB.

Fundamental Principles

  • Segment Addition Postulate: For collinear points A, B, and C, if B lies between A and C, then the sum of segments AB and BC equals segment AC (AB + BC = AC).
  • Reflexive Property of Congruence: A segment is always congruent to itself; thus, for any segment AB, it holds that AB ≅ AB.
  • Symmetric Property of Congruence: If segment AB is congruent to segment CD, then segment CD is also congruent to segment AB (if AB ≅ CD, then CD ≅ AB).
  • Transitive Property of Congruence: If segment AB is congruent to segment CD and segment CD is congruent to segment EF, then segment AB is congruent to segment EF (if AB ≅ CD and CD ≅ EF, then AB ≅ EF).
