Segment Basics
Construct a copy of segment AB
Real world
How could you accomplish this task in a real world situation where you have no ruler, tape measure, etc?
On a coordinate plane
Imagine your friend asked for your help with their math homework. They were given a graph with segment AB. The coordinates were: A(-4,5), B(-4,8). Your friend had to create a congruent segment and they created segment CD with C(2,-3), D(2,0). Did they accomplish their goal correctly?
Segment Addition
What is the measure of AB
If segment AB is 37 units long, what is the measure of BC
Use the following information to write an equation in terms of x. Then solve the equation, and find RS and ST. RS=2x+10, ST=x−4, RT=21
Use the following information to write an equation in terms of x. Then solve the equation and find RS and RT. RS=2x−, ST=11, RT=x+10
Real World
You're going on vacation with a friend that moved away. The goal is to see the Indy 500 at the Indianapolis Speedway. They live in St. Louis, MO (about 860 miles from you). They tell you that the Speedway is about 220 miles from them. If you drive to meet them at a hotel right next to the racetrack, how far are you driving? If your average speed is 65mph how long does the drive take you.
