Name: ____________________________________
Draw a sketch of the three collinear points. Then write the Segment Addition Postulate equation for the
points.
1) A is between T and Q.
2) M is between H and A.

S is between T and V. R is between S and T. T is between R and Q. QV = 18, QT = 6, and TR = RS =
SV. Make a sketch, label the diagram, and answer the following.
3) Find RS.
4) Find QS.
5) Find TS.
6) Find TV.
Suppose J is between H and K. Use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for x. Then find the length
of each segment. (Sketch and label the diagrams.)
7) HJ = 2x + 4
JK = 3x + 3
KH = 22
8) HJ = 2x + 5
JK = 5x + 6
KH = 12x - 4
