Three points B, C and K lie on one straight line. It is known that BK = 17cm. KC = 25cm.

Three points B, C and K lie on one straight line. It is known that BK = 17cm. KC = 25cm. What can be the length of the aircraft segment.

If the length of the segment BK = 17cm, then to find the BC, you need to determine which side of the point K lies the point C.

If C lies to the right of K, then the length of the segment BC = BK + KC = 17cm + 25cm = 42cm.

If C lies to the left of K, then the length of the segment BC = KC – BK = 25cm – 17cm = 8cm.
