How are the segment addition postulate and the angle addition postulate similar?
Both state that the whole is equal to the sum of the component parts.
What was Euclid's second postulate?
Euclid's second postulate allows that line segment to be extended farther in that same direction, so that it can reach any required distance. This could result in an infinitely long line.
What is the exactly meaning of segment construction postulate?
on any ray,there is exactly one point at a given distance from the endpoint of the ray
What are the postulate involving points lines and plane?
Euclid's first four postulates are:A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn havibg the segment as radius and one endpoint as centre.All right angles are congruent. He also had the fifth postulate, equivalent to the parallel postulate. There are various equivalent versions.If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side, if extended far enough.The fifth postulate cannot be proven and, in fact, it is now known that it cannot be proven and that there are many internally-consistent geometries in which the negations of this postulate are true.
What is the name of the postulate that states through any 3 points a circle can be formed?
There cannot be such a postulate because it is not true. Consider a line segment AB and let C be any point on the line between A and B. If the three points are A, B and C, there can be no circle that goes through them. It is so easy to show that the postulate is false that no mathematician would want his (they were mostly male) name associated with such nonsense. Well, if one of the points approach the line that goes through the other two points, the radius of the circle diverges. The line is the limit of the ever-growing circles. In the ordinary plane, the limit itself does not exist as a circle, but mathematicians have supplemented the plane with infinity to "hold" the centres of such "straight" circles.
Is segment construction postulate and segment addition postulate the same?
No, because Segment Construction Postulate may be use in any rays,there is exactly one point at a given distance from the end of the ray and in Segment Addition Postulate is is you may add only the Lines.
How the segment addition postulate can be modeled using a real world object?
the world is an oval so ab make a line so if you dived what you said by 2 it equals 3
What is a segment addition postulate?
Ab+bc=ac
How are the segment addition postulate and the angle addition postulate similar?
Both state that the whole is equal to the sum of the component parts.
A number associated with a number on the number line?
Segment position postulate
More Information about Euclid's third postulate?
The postulate states that given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as centre. I am not sure that there is more information than that!
What does AB plus BC equals AC mean?
If point b is in between points a and c, then ab +bc= ac by the segment addition postulate...dont know if that was what you were looking for... but that is how i percieved that qustion.
What was Euclid's first postulate?

What was Euclid's second postulate?
Euclid's second postulate allows that line segment to be extended farther in that same direction, so that it can reach any required distance. This could result in an infinitely long line.
What is self-evindent mean?
Informally, it simply means "obvious" but in a more formal manner, it is when "something is known to be true by understanding it's meaning without any proof", kind of like a postulate; the answer is what it is because you understand its concept and meaning and there does not need to be any proof. Ex: A________________B_________________C AB+BC=AC Segment Addition Postulate You completely understand it by looking at it and it does not need to be proven with numbers.
