Question

4. The point

5 1/3 units from A and

2/3

units from B

Answer 1

Given :

A point x whose distance from A is 5 1/3 units.

distance between x and B is 2/3 units.

To Find :

Distance between A and B if they both are on left side of straight line from x.

Solution :

Let distance between A and B is d :

`d=|A-B|\\\\d=|5(1)/(3)-(2)/(3)|\\\\d=|(16)/(3)-(2)/(3)|\\\\d=(14)/(3)\\\\d=4(2)/(3)\ units`

Therefore, distance between A and B is 4 2/3 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.
