Segment Addition Postulate Calculator — result sheet
Find a whole segment or a missing adjacent part from two segment lengths, with a closure check that makes the relationship visible.

Formula and methodology
Formula: When adjacent parts form a whole, whole = A + B; solving for a missing part gives A = whole − B or B = whole − A.
The segment addition relationship is a small formula with many classroom and measurement uses. The page lets a visitor choose the unknown, keeps the two component lengths visible, and reports the subtraction or addition used to reach the answer.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Segment A — length units; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- Segment B — length units; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- Whole segment — length units; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- What should be solved? — 3 choices
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Segment A | 4 |
| Segment B | 6 |
| Whole segment | 10 |
| What should be solved? | whole |
The whole segment is 4 + 6 = 10 length units, and the closure difference is 0.
Assumptions and limits
- A and B are adjacent parts of one straight segment.
- All lengths are nonnegative and use compatible units.
- The whole segment is at least either known part when solving for the other part.
- The calculator does not infer the order of labeled points from a diagram.
- The relationship is one-dimensional and does not measure a physical image or scale drawing.
- Decimal inputs are allowed and are displayed using the shared numeric renderer.
- A zero-length part is accepted mathematically but may not describe a meaningful physical component in a particular application.
