Math Problem Statement
Given segment AC where point B lands between AC. Find the length of BC if AC=10 and AB=2.
Solution
Given that point lies between points and on segment , and we know the lengths of and , we can find the length of using the following relationship:
We are given:
Now, substitute these values into the equation:
To find , subtract 2 from both sides:
So, the length of is units.
