Betweenness of points anyone?
What do you mean?
Like, what do you need to solve or understand of this theorem?
Betweenness is the property of lines in certain geometries, which allows one to talk about when a third point is between two points. Betweenness is equivalent to the line being a linear order of its points. The Betweenness of Points Theorem states that: A point is between two other points on the same line iff its coordinate is between their coordinates. If A-B-C, then AB + BC = AC. The notation A-B-C means that A, B, and C are points on a line, and B is between A and C. In other words, it looks like <-------------+-----+-------------+-------> A B C Betweenness Theorem says that whenever B is between A and C, you can add the distances AB and BC to get the distance AC: AC |<----------------->| AB BC |<--->|<----------->| <-------------+-----+-------------+-------> A B C If B were NOT between A and C, you couldn't do that.
