Question

draw the picture of the segment described, then write the segment addition postulate for the points described.. 1. s is between d and p 2. j is between s and h 3. c is between q and r 4. t is between m and n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall segment - addition postulate

If a point \(B\) is between points \(A\) and \(C\), then \(AB + BC=AC\).

Step2: For \(S\) between \(D\) and \(P\)

The segment - addition postulate is \(DS+SP = DP\).

Step3: For \(J\) between \(S\) and \(H\)

The segment - addition postulate is \(SJ+JH = SH\).

Step4: For \(C\) between \(Q\) and \(R\)

The segment - addition postulate is \(QC+CR = QR\).

Step5: For \(T\) between \(M\) and \(N\)

The segment - addition postulate is \(MT+TN = MN\).

Answer:

1. \(DS + SP=DP\)
2. \(SJ+JH = SH\)
3. \(QC + CR=QR\)
4. \(MT+TN = MN\)
