Draw any line segment, say AB. Take any point C lying in between A and B.Measure the length of AB, BC and AC.Is AB =AC+CB?
We take a line AB such that point C lies between A and B.
On measuring the lengths of AC, CB, and AB using a ruler, we find that
AB = 7.3 cm
AC = 2.7 cm
CB = 4.6 cm
Now AC + CB = 2.7 cm + 4.6 cm = 7.3 cm = AB
So AB = AC + CB
