if points C,D, and E are on a line and CD=20 and CE= 32 what are the possible values of DE

Sagot :

We know that

• CD = 20

,

• CE = 32

,

• Points C, D, and E are colinear points.

Using the sum of segments property, we define the following expression.

[tex]CE=CD+DE[/tex]

Replacing the given information, we have.-

[tex]\begin{gathered} 32=20+DE \\ 32-20=DE \\ DE=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, DE is equal to 12.
