Point T is on line segment start overline, S, U, send overline SU . Given S, T, equals, 5ST=5 and T, U, equals, 13, commaTU=13, determine the length start overline, S, U, end overline, . SU .
To determine the length of line segment SU, we can use the segment addition postulate, which states that if three points A, B, and C are collinear, then AB + BC = AC.
In this case, we have ST + TU = SU. Given that ST = 5 and TU = 13, we can substitute these values into the equation:
5 + 13 = SU
Therefore, the length of line segment SU is 18.
