As you can see the point C is between A and point B, hence AC + CB = AB. One thing to remember here is that point C can be anywhere between the point A and B, in that case, the answer will remain be the same AB. For instance:
A --- C -------------B
Again, AC + CB = AB.
2. By inference:
If the point C is between points A and B, it means that the point C lies on the line AB; if point C were not on the line AB, it will not be between points A and B. Hence, you can infer that AB is a line and point C lies on it and is between points A and B.
Find the area of the base of the cylinder using A = (pi)r 2 . Subtract your answer from the 80 square inches for the cube and the area of the cylinder. 4. Add the surface areas of each figure to get the total area of the composite figures.
