HELP ME points a b and c lie on a line where ab=10 and ac=36. What are the two possible values of bc

Sagot :

Answer: 26 and 46, perhaps

Step-by-step explanation: The question does not state if point b is between a and c. Yes, it stands to reason that b is between a and c, but this is math. Since the question asks for TWO possible answers, it leads me to believe that b could also be prior to point a. Then we have two possible scenarios:

The logical one: A - - - B - - - C BC = (36 - 10) = 26

and this: B - - - A - - - C BC = (36 + 10) = 46
