segment addition postulate
- Segment Addition Postulate: If \(K\) is between \(J\) and \(L\), then \(JK + KL=JL\) by the definition of the Segment Addition Postulate which states that if a point lies between two other points on a line segment, the sum of the lengths of the two smaller segments is equal to the length of the larger segment.
- Reflexive Property of Congruence: \(\overline{EF}\cong\overline{EF}\) because the reflexive property of congruence states that any geometric figure is congruent to itself.
- Addition Property of Equality: If \(RS = TU\), then \(RS+XT = TU + XT\) as the addition property of equality allows us to add the same quantity to both sides of an equation.
- Symmetric Property of Equality: If \(AB = DE\), then \(DE = AB\) since the symmetric property of equality states that if \(a = b\), then \(b=a\).
- Definition of Midpoint: If \(T\) is the midpoint of \(\overline{XZ}\), then \(XT = YZ\) (assuming a typo and it should be \(XT= TZ\)) because the midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal - length parts.
- Transitive Property of Congruence: If \(\overline{FG}\cong\overline{HI}\) and \(\overline{HI}\cong\overline{JK}\), then \(\overline{FG}\cong\overline{JK}\) by the transitive property of congruence (\(a\cong b\) and \(b\cong c\) implies \(a\cong c\)).
- Subtraction Property of Equality: If \(AB + CD=EF + CD\), then \(AB = EF\) as we can subtract \(CD\) from both sides of the equation.
- Substitution Property of Equality: If \(PQ + RS=TV\) and \(RS = WX\), then \(PQ + WX=TV\) because we substitute \(WX\) for \(RS\) in the first equation.
- Definition of Midpoint: If \(LP = PN\) and \(L\), \(P\), and \(N\) are collinear, then \(P\) is the midpoint of \(\overline{LN}\) as the midpoint is the point on a line segment that divides it into two equal - length parts.
- Definition of Congruence: If \(\overline{UV}\cong\overline{UV}\), then \(UT = UV\) (assuming a typo and it should be \(UV = UV\) which is the reflexive property of congruence, but if we consider the length, the definition of congruent segments means their lengths are equal).
- Subtraction Property of Equality: If \(CD + DE=CE\), then \(CD=CE - DE\) as we can subtract \(DE\) from both sides of the equation.
