Given segment CE and point D that lies on CE, find CE if CD=10 and DE=11.
CE= ____________
Did you draw a picture? If so, it should be clear that
CE = CD+DE = 21
To find the length of CE, you need to add the lengths of CD and DE.
CD = 10
DE = 11
CE = CD + DE
CE = 10 + 11
CE = 21
Therefore, CE = 21.
To find the length of segment CE, we need to add the lengths of the two smaller segments, CD and DE.
CD = 10
DE = 11
To find the length of the whole segment CE, we simply add CD and DE:
CE = CD + DE = 10 + 11 = 21
Therefore, the length of segment CE is 21 units.
