Segment and angle addition postulate worksheet
Both postulates say the same thing: the two parts add to the whole. Once it is written as an equation there is nothing geometric left to do.

How to do these
B is between A and C. , , . Find
- The parts add to the whole.
- 2x + 3 plus 3x - 1 equals 27.
- 5x + 2 = 27.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Setting the two parts equal to each other rather than to the whole. They are only equal if the point happens to be the midpoint, which these questions do not say.
Also called segment and angle addition postulates or adding segments and angles.
