Point B lies between A and C, and point A is between points D and B. Find the length of the segment

Point B lies between A and C, and point A is between points D and B. Find the length of the segment CD if AD = 45 cm, AB is 3 cm longer than AD, and BC is 17 cm longer than AB

1. The points on the line are arranged in this order: D, A. B, C (A between D and B, B between A and C);

2. DA = 45 cm, so AB = DA + 3 = 45 + 3 = 48 cm;

3. BC = AB + 17 = 48 + 17 = 65 cm;

4. DC = DA + AB + AC = 45 + 48 + 65 = 158 cm;

Answer: The length of the CD segment is 158 cm
