Point C divides segment AB into parts AC and CB. The length of segment AC is 56 cm and it is 23 cm

Point C divides segment AB into parts AC and CB. The length of segment AC is 56 cm and it is 23 cm shorter than segment CB. Find the length of the line segment AB.

To solve the problem, you first need to determine the length of the segment CB.
Since we know that the AC segment is 23 centimeters shorter than the CB segment, for this it is necessary to add the difference in the length of the CB segment to the known value of the AC segment.
In this case, we get.
56 + 23 = 79 centimeters.

To determine the length of the entire common segment AB, it is necessary to add the length of the segment AC and the length of the segment CB.
In this case, we get.
56 + 79 = 135 centimeters.

Simplified equation for solving the problem:
56 + (56 + 23) = 135 cm.
