Questions and Answers

What does the addition inequality property state?

  • If a > b, then a + c > b + c (correct)
  • If a = b, then a + c = b + c
  • If a ≥ b, then a + c ≥ b + c
  • If a < b, then a + c < b + c

    • What does the multiplication inequality property imply when a > b and c > 0?

  • a < c
  • ac > bc (correct)
  • ac < bc
  • a > c

    • A real number a is greater than a real number b (a > b) if there is a positive real number c such that a = b + c.

    Study Notes

    Properties of Inequalities

    • Addition Inequality Property: If a > b, then adding a constant c to both sides gives a + c > b + c.
    • Multiplication Inequality Property:
      • If a > b and c > 0, then ac > bc.
      • If a > b and c < 0, then multiplying by c reverses the inequality, making a < b.

    Angle Measurements and Postulates

    • True Statement: A real number a is greater than a real number b (a > b) if there exists a positive real number c such that a = b + c.
    • Protractor Postulate (Postulate 4.1): Every angle A corresponds to a positive real number m such that 0 < m < 180.
    • Measure of an Angle: It is a real number that quantifies the size of a specific angle.

    Angle Relations

    • Continuity Postulate (Postulate 4.2): For any half-plane defined by line AC, there is only one ray AB in this half-plane for each real number 0 < x ≤ 180, such that m ∠BAC = x.
    • Congruent Angles: Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.
    • Adjacent Angles: These are two angles that share a common vertex and side but do not overlap in their interior points.

    Angle Addition Postulate

    • Angle Addition Postulate (Postulate 4.3): Details about this postulate are incomplete but it pertains to the addition of angle measures to find a total angle measure, given that a point lies inside or on the angle.
