Explanation would be appreciated, last word is indicated.​

Answer 1

Answer:

AC = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that:

Points A, B, and C are collinear.

Point B is between A and C.

We want to find the length AC (distance between A and C), if we know that:

AB = 16

BC = 12

Ok, knowing that B is between the other points, we know that:

AB + BC

defines the total length of the segment that connects the 3 points.

Thus, if we define this segment as a length, we only use the endpoints, A and C.

Then we have that:

AB + BC = AC

now we can solve this:

16 + 12 = AC

28 = AC
