Answer 1

Answer:

a). AB = 8 in

b). AB = 9.75 in

c). AC = 6.5 in

d). BC = 1.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Since, AB = AC + CB

   Length of AC = 5 in. and CB = 3 in.

   Therefore, AB = 5 + 3 = 8 in.

b). Given : AC = 6.25 in and CB = 3.5 in

   Therefore, AB = AC + CB = 6.25 + 3.5

   AB = 9.75 in.

c). Given: AB = 10.2 in. and BC = 3.7 in.

    AB = AC + BC

    AC = AB - BC

    AC = 10.2 - 3.7

    AC = 6.5 in

d). Given: AB = 4.75 in and AC = 3.25 in.

   BC = AB - AC

   BC = 4.75 - 3.25 = 1.5 in.
