In a straight line, take the points A, B, C and D in a row, so that AB=2.5cm, BC=3cm, CD=2.5cm,check if the segments AC and BD are equal
To determine if the segments AC and BD are equal, we need to calculate their lengths.
Given:
AB = 2.5 cm,
BC = 3 cm,
CD = 2.5 cm.
We can calculate the lengths of AC and BD as follows:
AC = AB + BC = 2.5 cm + 3 cm = 5.5 cm,
BD = BC + CD = 3 cm + 2.5 cm = 5.5 cm.
Since AC = BD = 5.5 cm, the segments AC and BD are indeed equal in length.
