PROBLEM
If point is between and , what is ? A. B. C. D.
STEP 1
Assumptions1. Point C is between points A and B.
. AC, CB, and AB are line segments.
3. The "+" operation refers to the addition of the lengths of the line segments.
STEP 2
In geometry, if point C is between points A and B, then the length of line segment AB is equal to the sum of the lengths of line segments AC and CB. This is a basic property of line segments on a straight line.
STEP 3
So, if we substitute the given values into this equation, we get
SOLUTION
We can see that the sum of the lengths of line segments AC and CB is equal to the length of line segment AB.
So, the answer is () .
