Geometry Segment Addition

Write the Segment Addition Postulate for the points described.


1. S is between D and P 2. J is between S and H

If DS = 4 and SP = 5, then DP = ____. If SJ = 5 and SH = 12, then JH = ____


3. C is between Q and R 4. T is between M and N

If QC = 2x, RC = 3x, and QR = 15, If NT = x + 5, MN = 3x, and MT = 7,


what is x? ___________ what is MN? __________

In the diagram of collinear points, GK = 24, HJ = 10, and GH = HI = IJ.


Find each length.

5. HI __________ 6. IJ ___________ 7. GH _______________

8. JK __________ 9. IG ___________ 10. IK ________________

Find QR in the following problems.


11. If RS = 44.6 and SQ = 68.4, find QR.

12. If RS = 33.4 and SQ = 80, find QR.

In the following problems, suppose J is between H and K.


♦ Use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for x.
♦ Then find the length of each segment.
13. HJ = 5x 14. HJ = 2x + 5 15. HJ = 6x - 5
JK = 7x JK = 3x – 7 JK = 4x - 6
KH = 96 KH = 18 KH = 129

16. HJ = 3x + 8 17. HJ = 4t – 15 18. HJ = 5p


JK = 4x + 6 JK = 5t – 6 JK = p
KH = 28 KH = 15 KH = 3
