Question

ughh can i pleaseee get some help? If AB=16, BC=8, and AC=24, which point is between the other two?

Answer 9

can you prove that it is the middle, (think about how to use the lengths of AB and BC to prove this)

Answer 12

looks good

Answer 13

Lol really?

Answer 15

Answer 16

B has to be in the middle because AC is longer than either of the other two segments.

Answer 17

B cannot be outside of AC because than the BA and BC lengths that are given would not make sense.
