The length of the segment AB is 15 cm; it is 6 cm longer than the cutoff of the CD. Find the length of the CD segment.

We denote the sought unknown length of the CD segment by means of the conditional variable “Y”.

Using the information from this problem, create this equation: Y + 6 = 15.

As a result of solving this equation, we get the value Y = 15 – 6 = 9 centimeters.

Answer: A piece of CD is 9 centimeters long.
