Draw a 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 $?


Given :

The given statement is, draw a line segment, say AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B.

To do :

We have to check,  Is $AB = AC + CB $?

Solution :

As we can see from the above figure,

$AB = AC+CB$

Therefore,

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.
