Point D lies between points E and F, with EF = 3 meters, DF = 2.4 meters. Find the distance between points D and E.

If point D lies between points E and F, then it divides the segment EF into two segments DE and DF. In order to find the length of the segment DE, you need to subtract the length of the segment DF from the length of the segment EF, that is

DE = EF – DF = 3 – 2.4 = 0.6 m.

Answer: The length of the DE segment is 0.6 m.
