Algebra.Com's Answer #790966 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "The points are all collinear; the distance from A to B is 2, the distance from A to C is 3, and the distance from B to C is 5. Since the distance from B to C is the SUM of the distances from A to B and from A to C, A is between B and C. \n" ); document.write( "Then the distance from B to D is 6, the distance from B to C is 5, and the distance from C to D is 1. Since the distance from B to D is the SUM of the distance from B to C and the distance from C to D, C is between B and D. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS: A is between B and C; C is between B and D. \n" ); document.write( "So the order of the points on the line is B-A-C-D. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
