Question

Your leg has an endpoint of A at the top of your thigh, and endpoint C at your ankle. Imagine the length of your entire leg (from endpoint A to C) measures 36 inches and the length from point B, your knee to endpoint C is 11 inches. Find the length of AB (from your thigh to your knee)

Answer 1

Answer: 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine that this line is the leg     A______________B________C

                                                                          x                       11

                                                             |___________36____________|

From A to C = 36 inches

From B to C = 11 inches

To find A to B all we have to do is subtract the knee to ankle length (11) from total leg length (36), which 36 - 11 = 25 inches.
