Answer:


CD=9.1

Explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that D is between C and E. We are asked to find the length of CD.

Since point D is between C and E, so length of CD will be equal to length of CE minus length of DE.


CD=CE-DE


CD=17.1-8


CD=9.1

Therefore, the length of segment CD is 9.1 units.

D is between C and E, CE=17.1, and DE=8. Find CD.-example-1

Assuming that the figure referred to here is a straight line, then this means that point C, point D, and point E are all collinear. With points C and E located at the ends while point D is located in between point C and point E, such that:

C -------- D ------- E

With the given figure above, we can say the following expression:

CD + DE = CE

Since we are to find for CD, we rewrite the equation in terms of CD by transposing DE to the right side:

CD = CE – DE

Substituting the values:

CD = 17.1 – 8

CD = 9.1
