This document defines key terms and concepts for measuring linear segments, including line segment, betweenness of points, and congruent segments. It provides examples of measuring and drawing segments using a ruler in both metric and customary units. One example solves a multi-step word problem involving finding the length of a segment and value of x given relationships between segments. The document concludes with assigning related practice problems from the textbook.
