Question

Point B is on line segment AC. Given BC = 10 and AB = 5, determine the lengthAC.Answer: AC= Anyone know how to solve these???

Answer 1

3

1) Let's sketch that, to better understand this:

2) Considering the Segment Addition Postulate, we can write that:

DF = DE + EF Plug into that the given values

9 = 6 + EF

9-6 = 6-6 + EF

3 = EF

EF =3

3) Hence, the line segment EF is 3 units long
