Warm Up Given:m AOC = 140, m AOB = (2x – 6) and m BOC = (6x + 10) 1. What is the value of x? ________________________. 2. What is the _________________________. 3. can be classified as a(n) ___________________ angle. 4. and are what type of angles? ________________________? (vertical, adjacent, complementary, supplementary)
Ruler Postulate • Two segments with the same length are congruent () segments. • In other words, if then . You can use these statements interchangeably.
Midpoint A midpoint of a segment is a point that divides a segment into two congruent segments. A midpoint, or any line, ray, or segment through a midpoint, is said to bisect the segment. M is the midpoint of .
Let’s Practice! What is the length of _____________ Name a segment congruent to . ____________ What is the midpoint of _____________
Segment Addition Postulate If three points A, B, and C are collinear and B is between A and C, then
Example #1 –Segment Addition Postulate Given: If , find the value of . Then find AN and NB. A N B
Example #2- Finding Lengths Given: M is the midpoint of Find , , and . R M T
Example #3 - Finding the Length of a Segment Strategy: Draw a picture to help answer each question. If and , and then , , Is G the midpoint of
Practice! • Working with a partner, you will have 20 minutes to complete this sheet.
Finding Distance on the Coordinate Plane Given two points, what is the distance between the two points? Let’s try to discover the formula. • For each of the triangles A, B, C and D complete the following: • (i) using the scale, write the coordinates of each of the three vertices (ii) calculate the vertical distance (iii) calculate the horizontal distance • (iv) calculate the length of the hypotenuse to two significant figures
The Distance Formula**The distance formula is just an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem!** • The distance between two points and B is
Example #4- Finding Distance Find the distance between and to the nearest tenth.
