  2. Segment Part of a line that consists of two points called the endpoints and all points between them. Definition: How to sketch: How to name: AB (without a symbol) means the length of the segment or the distance between points A and B.

  3. Example Find the distance between P and K. Note: The coordinates are the numbers on the ruler or number line! The capital letters are the names of the points. Therefore, the coordinates of points P and K are 3 and -2 respectively. Substituting the coordinates in the formula │a – b │ PK = | 3 --2 | = 5 Remember : Distance is always positive

  4. If numbers are equal the objects are congruent. AB: the segment AB ( an object ) AB: the distance from A to B ( a number ) Congruent Segments Definition: Segments with equal lengths. (congruent symbol: ) Congruent segments can be marked with dashes. Correct notation: Incorrect notation: Lesson 1-2: Segments and Rays

  5. If numbers are equal the objects are congruent. AB: the segment AB ( an object ) AB: the distance from A to B ( a number ) Congruent Segments Definition: Segments with equal lengths. (congruent symbol: ) Congruent segments can be marked with dashes. Correct notation: Incorrect notation: Lesson 1-2: Segments and Rays

  6. 12 AC + CB = AB x + 2x = 12 3x = 12 x = 4 Segment Addition If C is between A and B, then AC + CB = AB. If AC = x , CB = 2x and AB = 12, then, find x, AC and CB. Example: 2x x Step 1: Draw a figure Step 2: Label fig. with given info. Step 3: Write an equation x = 4 AC = 4 CB = 8 Step 4: Solve and find all the answers Lesson 1-2: Segments and Rays
