A ball is thrown from point A and it reaches point B which is 7m away. There is another point C which lies somewhere on the line AB. Given that the ball follows a straight path, and AC = 9m, BC = 2m. Which is the point that lies in between other two? Draw the path of the ball. [1 MARK]

Solution

Given that
Length of line AB = 7m
Length of line AC = 9m
Length of line BC = 2m
We can clearly see that the length of line AC > BC.
Also, AB + BC = AC
$∴$ Point B lies between A and C.

AB + BC = AC.

Given that Length of line AB = 7m Length of line AC = 9m Length of line BC = 2m We can clearly see that the length of line AC > BC. Also, AB + BC = AC ∴ Point B lies between A and C. AB + BC = AC.
