AB=33 AND AC=49
FIND BC IF B IS BETWEEN A AND C
------------
AB+BC = AC
13 + BC = 49
BC = 49 - 13
BC = 36

Draw a straight line on a piece of paper.
At the left edge of the line put an A. At the right edge put C.
Between them put a B.
The distance from A to B is 33.
The distance from A to C is 49.
Whats the distance from B to C ? Ans. 16 (49-33)
