question_answer 1)

Draw any line segment, say \[\overline{AB}.\] Take any point C lying in between A and B. Measure the lengths of AB, BC and AC. Is AB = AC + CB?

Answer:

Let AB be the line segment of length 6 cm and point C lying between A and B. On measuring the lengths of line segments AB, AC and CB using ruler, we find that AB = 6 cm, AC = 4 cm and CB = 2 cm Now, AC + CB = 4 + 2 = G cm = AB i.e. AC + CB = AB So, we can say that C lies between A and B.
