Coordinate Geometry

Coordinate geometry, also known as analytic geometry or Cartesian geometry in classical mathematics, is a type of geometry that is studied using a coordinate system. Coordinate geometry is a branch of mathematics that describes the position of points on a plane using an ordered pair of numbers called coordinates.

**Geometry Segment Addition Postulate – Activity 1.4.1**

**Problem 6: Segment Addition Postulate**

**Given:**
Point $ V $ is somewhere on $\overline{UW}$. If $ UV = 2x - 13 $, $ VW = -18 + 2x $, and $ UW = 17 $, then find the length of $\overline{UV}$.

**Diagram:**
```
U ---------------------- V ---------------------- W
| UV = 2x - 13 | VW = -18 + 2x |
|------------------------------------------|
UW = 17
```

**Solution Steps:**

1. Apply the Segment Addition Postulate which states:
\[
UV + VW = UW
\]

2. Substitute the given expressions into this equation:
\[
(2x - 13) + (-18 + 2x) = 17
\]

3. Simplify the equation:
\[
2x - 13 - 18 + 2x = 17
\]
\[
4x - 31 = 17
\]

4. Solve for $ x $:
\[
4x - 31 = 17
\]
\[
4x = 48
\]
\[
x = 12
\]

5. Find the length of $\overline{UV}$ by substituting $ x = 12 $ back into $ UV = 2x - 13 $:
\[
UV = 2(12) - 13
\]
\[
UV = 24 - 13
\]
\[
UV = 11
\]

**Answer:**
- The length of $\overline{UV}$ is $ 11 $.

**Multiple-choice options:**
- $ \circ $ 12
- $ \circ $ 6
- $ \circ $ 11

The correct answer is 11.
