Answer:

Segment Addition Postulate

The segment addition postulate in geometry is applicable on a line segment containing three collinear points. The segment addition postulate states that if there are two given points on a line segment A and C, then point B lies on the same line segment somewhere between A and C only if the sum of AB and BC is equal to AC.

Segment Addition Postulate Definition

The segment addition postulate states that if a line segment has two endpoints, A and C, a third point B lies somewhere on the line segment AC if and only if this equation AB + BC = AC is satisfied. Look at the image given below to have a better understanding of this postulate.
