A, B, C are three points on a straight line. If AB = BC and AC = 4 units then
Question 4
If A, B, C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm and AC = 8 cm, which one of them lies between the other two?
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.]
