A line contains points F, G, H, I, J. The space between F G is 2. The space between H and I is 1. The space between F and I is 7
1 answer:
Based on the segment addition postulate, the length of GH is: 4 units.
<h3>What is the Segment Addition Postulate?</h3>The segment addition postulate states that if a line segment is divided into smaller parts, the sum of the length of the smaller parts equals the length of the line segment.
- FG = 2 units
- FI = 7 units
- HI = 1 unit
- GH = ?
FI = FG + HI + GH [segment addition postulate]
7 = 2 + 1 + GH
7 = 3 + GH
7 - 3 = GH
4 = GH
GH = 4 units.

Answer:
The first four.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 main postulates. SSS, SAS, and AAS. This simply refers to how we prove a triangle congruent. With SSS, all 3 sides must be congruent (either proven or given). AAS is when you have 2 angles congruent with a side next to one of the angles. NOT IN BETWEEN (there's an image as to what I'm talking about below). Finally, SAS. This is when you have a set of angles congruent with sides on each side congruent as well (look at the first four as an example of this.
