If A, B and C are three poins on a line ...

If A, B and C are three poins on a line and B lies between A and C, then prove that AB + BC = AC.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the figure given above,AC and AB + BC coincide each other.
Also Euclid's axiom (4) says that things which coincide with one another are equal to one another. So it can be deduced that
`AB+BC=AC`
