Question

X, Y, and Z are collinear points on the same segment, and Y is between X and Z. It XY =11 and XZ=13, use the Segment Addition Postulate to find

YZ.

Answer 1

YZ = 2

Explanation:

X, Y and Z are collinear points, that is they lie on the same line.

given Y is between X and Z , then

XY + YZ = XZ , that is

11 + YZ = 13 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

YZ = 2
