If A,B and C are three points on a line such that AC =8cm,CB=4cm and AB=12cm,which pointA,B or C lies between the other two?
Given:
IfA,B and C are three points on a line such that AC =8cm,CB=4cm and AB=12cm
To do: Find which point A,B or C lies between the other two
Solution:
A , B , C are in a line
$AB = 12$ cm
$CB = 4$ cm
$AC = 8$ cm
$ AC + CB = 8 + 4$
= 12 CM
$AC + CB = AB$
So, C lies between A and B
