Point C lies between points A and B, with AB = 15 cm, AC = 6.8 cm.Find the distance between points B and C.

From the condition of the problem we know that point C lies between points A and B.

Thus, in order to determine the distance between B and C, it is necessary to subtract the indicated length of the segment AC from the total length of the segment AB.

As a result, we get:

BC = AB – AC = 15 – 6.8 = 8.2 cm.

Answer: Between points B and C 8.2 cm.
