Math Problem Statement
Given segment DF with point E between DF. Find DF if DE=8 and EF=14.
Solution
Given that point lies between points and on segment , we can find the length of by adding the lengths of and .
The relationship is:
We are given:
Now, substitute these values into the equation:
So, the length of is units.
