Section length AD = 10 dm, AB = 5 dm 2 cm, CD = 3 dm 4 cm. Find the section length BC.

Segment AD consists of three parts, namely three segments: AB, BC and CD.

In this case, the length AD is equal to the sum of the lengths of these three segments.

So AD = AB + BC + CD.

From here we can find the segment BC:

BC = AD – AB – CD;

BC = 10 dm – 5 dm 2 cm – 3 dm 4 cm;

BC = 1 dm 4 cm
