Properties Of Congrunce + Definitons + Postulate Flashcards
For any segment, AB, the measure of AB is congruent to the measure of AB
Reflexive property of congruence
If the measure of AB is congruent to the measure of CD, then the measure of CD is congruent to the measure of AN
Symmetric property of congruence
If the measure of AB is congruent to the measure of CD and the measure of CD is congruent to the measure of EF then the measure of AB is congruent to the measure of EF
Transitive property of congruence
Segments are congruence if and only if they have the same measure:
If the measure of AB is congruent to the measure of CD, then AB=CD.
If AB=CD then the measure of AB is congruent to the measure of CD
Definition of congruence
The midpoint of a segment divides the segment into 2 equal (congruent) parts
If M is the midpoint of AB, then AM=MB
Definition of midpoint
If A and C are collinear points and B is between A and C, then AB + BC= AC
Segment addition postulate
