Thurs, Aug 22 - Another Compare and Contrast

Today's assignment has 2 parts:

1.   In paragraph form*, please compare and contrast the Segment Addition Postulate and the Angle Addition Postulate.

(Please give at least three similarities and three differences.)

*Paragraph form means you begin with a topic sentence, mention supporting details, and end with a conclusion.

2.  Then take the brief quiz at http://my.hrw.com/math06_07/nsmedia/practice_quizzes/geo/geo_pq_ffg_03.html
and email me a screen shot of your results.  It is OK with me if you take the quiz as many times as you need to in order to get 100%.

  1. The Segment Addition Postulate and the Angles Addition Postulate are both used in geometry. The difference between the two is that Segment Addition Postulate is used to calculate distance between points on segments whereas the Angle Addition Postulate is to calculate the measure of angles. Another difference is the Segment Addition Postulate requires three points to be collinear, whereas the Angle Addition Postulate does not. One last difference would be the Angle Addition Postulate works with the interior of points, whereas the Segment Addition Postulate has no interior. The similarities are that both postulates require three or more points, the answers are found by using addition, and they are both postulates. Overall, both the Angle Addition Postulate and the Segment Addition Postulate are very similar types of postulates.

  2. Two important postulates in geometry called Segment Addition Postulate and Angle Addition Postulate have both similarities and differences. The tree differences are: the Protractor Postulate uses a protractor but the Ruler Postulate uses a ruler, The Protractor Postulate measure the angle and the Ruler Postulate measures the distance, and the Protractor Postulate requires three or more points but the Ruler Postulate requires only two points. Similarities are: points/rays of both postulates can be matched one to one with real numbers, they help us to find the measure of the angle/distance, and they both have equations that include absolute value signs. These two postulates are different in many ways, but they are very similar to each other and I think that both postulates have been made from the same idea.

  3. The Segment Addition Postulate and the Angle Addition Postulate have several similarities and differences. First, both the segment addition postulate and the angle addition postulate helps us figure out an unknown length or an angle, both postulates have two known variables in able to figure out one unknown variable, and finally both postulates have more than two points. On the other hand, there are several differences. The Segment Addition Postulate have to do with the length of the segments while the Angle Addition Postulate have to do with the angles. Also, the Segment Addition Postulate can have any real numbers, but the Angle Addition Postulate only contains numbers from 0 to 360. Finally, the Segment Addition Postulate contains only segments, however, the Angle Addition Postulate contains only angles. In conclusion, even though the Segment Addition Postulate and the Angle Addition Postulate share the same idea, it has many differences.

  4. In geometry, there are two important postulates called the Segment Addition Postulate and the Angle Addition Postulate. They are different postulates, but they also have some similarities. The first similarity is that both postulates require us to find answers by adding two different angles or lengths. And they both have a line (segment, ray) or a dot that divides an angle or a segment. The last point is that they help us to find the answers by providing some rules. There are some differences, too. First, the Angle Addition Postulate is to find the measure of an angle while the Segment Addition postulate is for the measure of a distance. Second, the Angle Addition Postulate can only have the number from 0 to 180 for the answer but the Segment Addition Postulate can have any real numbers. Third, the Segment Addition Postulate is used when there are three collinear points and the Angle Addition Postulate is used when there is one ray or line segment that intersects an angle. These two postulates are different in many ways, but they are very similar to each other and I think that both postulates have been made from the same idea.

  5. One similarity between the Segment Addition Postulate and Angle Addition Postulate is that they both used to measure using two numbers already known. Another similarity is that they are both postulate, and there is no need to prove them. A third similarity is that the both postulates say "if blank is between blank and black, then blank + blank = blank." A difference is that the Segment Addition Postulate measures a line segment and the Angle Addition Postulate measures angles. Another difference is that the angle addition postulate can only have numbers more than zero, but less than 360, while the segment addition postulate can have number. The third difference is that one postulate is the second postulate and the other is the third.
