3. Measuring Segments

Find RT with the Segment Addition Postulate by adding the length of RS and ST.
RT=24
To find RT, we should use the Segment Addition Postulate. This postulate tells us that, if we have a point between two points, we can add the lengths of the two smaller segments to find the length of the longer segment. In our case, S is between R and T, so we can get the length RT by adding RS and ST.
The length RT is 24.
