Your leg has an endpoint of A at the top of your thigh, and endpoint C at your ankle. Imagine the length of your entire leg (from endpoint A to C) measures 36 inches and the length from point B, your knee to endpoint C is 11 inches. Find the length of AB (from your thigh to your knee)

Answer: 25 inches

Explanation:

Let's imagine that this line is the leg A______________B________C

x 11

|___________36____________|

From A to C = 36 inches

From B to C = 11 inches

To find A to B all we have to do is subtract the knee to ankle length (11) from total leg length (36), which 36 - 11 = 25 inches.
