Mathematics Question on Measuring Line Segments
Draw any line segment, say AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB? [Note: If A, B, C are any three points on a line, such that AC + CB = AB, then we can be sure that C lies between A and B.]
Answer
AB = 6.5 cm, AC = 3cm, CB = 3.5 cm AC + CB = 3 cm + 3.5 cm = 6.5 cm = AB
