2. Geom25hour3.notebook September 20, 2011
After today's class, you should be able to:
1. Use addition and subtraction properties of segment
lengths and angle measures as reasons in proofs.
2. Use the same properties to find segment lengths
and angle measures.

Addition Property (segments): If a segment is added to 2
congruent segments, then the sums are congruent.
Addition Property REMIX (segments): If congruent segments
are added to congruent segments, the sums are congruent.
Compare 1 + 2 and 2 + 3

Subtraction Properties: If a segment (or angle) is subtracted from
congruent segments (or angles), then the differences are
congruent.

Subtraction Properties REMIX: If congruent segments (or angles)
are subtracted from congruent segments (or angles), the
differences are congruent.
When do you use the Addition Property vs. the Subtraction
Property in a proof?
• Use the Addition Property when the angles or segments are
bigger in the conclusion than in the given.
• Use the Subtraction Property when the angles or segments are
smaller in the conclusion than in the given.
