what is the difference between segment addition postulate and addition property of equality. I need to know for a test today
''''''''In geometry, the segment addition postulate states that given two points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC. This is related to the triangle inequality, which states that AB + BC \geq AC with equality if and only if A, B, and C are collinear (on the same line). This in turn is equivalent to the proposition that the shortest distance between two points lies on a straight line.'''''''''
'''''''''''''Addition Property of Equality states that if you add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides remain equal''''''''''
Thanks that helps alot
