2 Measuring Segments

Ruler postulate: The between any two points can be measured

by finding the absolute value of the of the coordinates

representing the points.

4 Segment Addition Postulate

Segment addition postulate: If L is K and M, then

KL + LM = KM. If KL + LM = KM, then L is between K and M.

6 Bisecting a Segment

TR is bisected by segment AB, creating two segments:

PT and PR.

Point P is the between T and R.

9 Measuring Angles

A is a tool used to measure an angle in degrees.

Protractor postulate: Given any angle, we can express its measure as a unique

number from 0 to 180 degrees.

The orientation of the angle is irrelevant when it comes to measuring the angle.
The way to represent angle measure in symbols is to write 𝑚∠ .

10 Using a Protractor

We can use a protractor to measure . Be sure that:

• the center mark is on the vertex of the angle

• one side of the angle is on the 0° line
• an acute angle measures less than 90° and an obtuse angle
measures more than 90°

12 Angle Measures

Acute angles, right angles, obtuse angles, straight angles, and reflex

angles are classified based on their measures.

Measure: Measure: Measure: Measure:

0° < θ < 90° 90° < θ < 180° θ = 180° θ = 90°

REFLEX ANGLES

When an angle measures greater than 180°, but less than 360°, the angle is
called a reflex angle.

angles is equal to the of the measures of the

individual angles.
