Chapter 1

 Postulate 1-6
Segment Addition Postulate - If three points A, B, and C are collinear and B is between A
and C, then AB + BC = AC.

 Postulate 1-7
Angle Addition Postulate - If point B is in the interior of AOC, then

m AOB + m BOC = m AOC.

 Adjacent Angles - two coplanar angles with a common side, a common vertex, and no
common interior points.

 Vertical Angles - two angles whose sides are opposite rays.

 Complementary Angles - two angles whose measures have a sum of 90. Each angle is
called the complement of the other.

 Supplementary Angles - two angles whose measures have a sum of 180. Each angle is
called the supplement of the other.

 Postulate 1-9 Linear Pair Postulates - If two angles form a linear pair, then they are
supplementary.

 Angle Bisector - a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles. Its endpoint is at
the angle vertex within the ray, a segment with the same endpoint is also an angle
bisector.
Constructions
 Constructing Congruent Segments –

 Step One: Draw a ray with endpoint C.

 Step Two: Open the compass to the length of AB.

 Step Three: With the same compass setting, put the compass point on point C. Draw an
arc that intersects the ray. Label the point of intersection D.

 Constructing Congruent Angles –

 Step One: Draw a ray with endpoint S.

 Step Two: With the compass on vertex A, draw an arc that intersects the sides of A.
Label the points of intersection B and C.

 Step Three: With the same compass setting, put the compass point on point S. Draw an
arc and label its point of intersection with the ray as R.

 Step Four: Open the compass to the length BC. Keeping the same compass setting, put
the compass point on R. Draw an arc to locate point T.

 Step Five: Draw ST

 Constructing the Perpendicular Bisector –

 Step One: Put the compass on point A and draw a long arc. Be sure the opening is
greater than ½ AB.

 Step Two: With the same compass setting, put the compass point on point B and draw
another long arc. Label the points where the two arcs intersect as X and Y.

 Step Three: Draw XY. Label the point of intersection of AB and XY as M, the midpoint of
AB.
 Constructing the Angle Bisector –

 Step One: Put the compass point on vertex A. Draw an arc that intersects the sides of
A. Label the points of intersection B and C.

 Step Two: Put the compass on point C and draw an arc. With the same compass
setting, draw an arc using point B. Be sure the arcs intersect. Label the point where the
two arcs intersect at D.

 Step Three: Draw AD.
