Math Problem Statement

Point V is on line segment UW. Given VW = 4 and UV = 15, determine the length UW.

Solution

The problem asks to find the length of the segment UWUW, given the following information:

  • VW=4VW = 4
  • UV=15UV = 15

Since point VV lies on the line segment UWUW, we can conclude that:

[ UW = UV + VW
