If A,B,C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm and AC = 8 cm, which one of them lies between the other two?
Given :
AB = 5 cm
BC = 3 cm
AC = 8 cm
To find :
We have to find which one of them lies between the other two.
Solution :
$AB+BC = 5 cm + 3 cm = 8 cm$
AC = 8 cm
Therefore,
$AB+BC=AC$
This implies, point B lies between the points A and C.
