Question

segment addition postulate (be sure to draw a diagram)
question
point i is on line segment (overline{hj}). given (ij = 3) and (hi = 14), determine the length (hj).
answer
(hj =) blank

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Segment Addition Postulate

The Segment Addition Postulate states that if a point \( I \) is on segment \( \overline{HJ} \), then \( HJ = HI + IJ \).
Given \( HI = 14 \) and \( IJ = 3 \).

Step2: Calculate \( HJ \)

Substitute the given values into the formula: \( HJ = 14 + 3 \).
\( HJ = 17 \).

Answer:

\( 17 \)
