Question

Find the length of UW if W is between U and V, UV = 25.1 and VW = 13.9

Answer 1

The length of UW is 11.2

Explanation:

Here, we are told to find the length of UW given the lengths in the question;

We are told that w is between U and V

Thus;

U W 13.9 V

While the total length UV is 25.1

Mathematically;

UV = VW + UW

Thus;

UW = UV - VW

So UW = 25.1 - 13.9 = 11.2
