What can be the distance between the ends A and D of the broken line ABCD if AB = 6cm, BC = 24cm and CD = 7cm?

The distance between the ends of the polyline is less than or equal to the distance equal to the sum of the segments that make up this polyline. Thus, AD <= AB + BC + CD; AD <= 6 cm + 24 cm + 7 cm; AD <= 37 cm.
Answer: the distance between the ends of the broken line A and D does not exceed 37 cm.
