Question

1. choose the best answer. if three points a, b, and c are ____, and b is between a and c, then ab + bc = ac. (the segment addition postulate) options: collinear, maximum, minimum, one to one

Explanation:

The Segment Addition Postulate applies to points that lie on the same straight line (collinear). "Maximum," "minimum," and "one to one" do not relate to the geometric condition for this postulate. Collinear points mean they are on a single line, so when B is between A and C (on that line), \( AB + BC = AC \) holds.

Answer:

A. collinear
