Question

Point U is on line segment TV given UV = 3 and TU = 12 determine the length TV

Answer 1

The line segment TV goes from point T to point V. Since U is on this line segment, then it is between T and V:

Thus, the length TV is the sum of the lengths TU and UV:

TV = TU + UV

= 12 + 3

= 15

Therefore,

TV = 15
