Segment Addition Postulate If B Is Between A and C, Then AB

The document provides examples of using the segment addition postulate to solve problems involving lengths of line segments. It gives 4 problems that require using the postulate to find unknown values of line segments or variables if the lengths of two segments are given. A separate section provides 6 additional problems involving finding lengths or variable values when one segment is the midpoint between two other segments.
