Explain what MN means and what MN Explain what MN means and what MN means.means.
If PQ = 4 and QN = 5, what is PN?If PQ = 4 and QN = 5, what is PN?
If MP = 3 and MN = 14, what is PN?If MP = 3 and MN = 14, what is PN?
MN is the line segment MN is the line segment itselfitself
Q NM P
MN means the length of the line MN means the length of the line segmentsegmentPN = PQ + QN = 4 + 5 = 9PN = PQ + QN = 4 + 5 = 9
PN = MN – MP = 14 – 3 = 11PN = MN – MP = 14 – 3 = 11
LM = -6 – (-2)= -6 + 2 = LM = -6 – (-2)= -6 + 2 = ||-4-4| | = 4= 4
JK ≠ LMJK ≠ LM
Plot the points then tell whether the line Plot the points then tell whether the line segments are congruent.segments are congruent.
1. A(0, 1), B(4,1), C(1,2), D(1,6) AB & CD?1. A(0, 1), B(4,1), C(1,2), D(1,6) AB & CD?
2. J(-6,-8), K(-6,-2), L(-2,-4), M(-6,-4) JK & LM?2. J(-6,-8), K(-6,-2), L(-2,-4), M(-6,-4) JK & LM?AB = CDAB = CD
CD = 6 - 2 = CD = 6 - 2 = 44
AB = 4 – 0 = 4AB = 4 – 0 = 4
JK = -2 – (-8) = -2 + 8 = 6JK = -2 – (-8) = -2 + 8 = 6
