Question

If B lies between A and C, AC = 15 cm and BC = 9 cm. What is AB square?

Answer 1

AC=15cm AND BC=9cm
AB=AC-BC
AB=15-9=6
AB square =6^2=36

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of AB square is found out to be 36 $cm^2$

Solution:

Given, AC = 15 cm and BC = 9 cm.

When B lies between A and C,

AC could be represented by the summation of AB and AC.

Accordingly, we can write,

AC = AB + BC

15 cm =  AB + 9 cm

AB = 15 cm – 9 cm  

AB = 6 cm.

Thus, the value of the square of AB is  

$(AB)^2 = (6 cm)^2$

$= 36 cm^2$

Thus, the value of AB square is found out to be 36 $cm^2$
