Question 52

Step 1: Look at the figure. Points A, B, C are on one straight line. B is between A and C.

Step 2: A straight line can be split into smaller parts. The full length equals the sum of those parts. (Segment addition idea.)

Step 3: Here, the parts are AB and BC. The full length is AC.

Step 4: Write it as small maths steps:

First part: \(AB\)

Second part: \(BC\)

Whole line from A to C: \(AC\)

So,

\[ AB + BC = AC \]

Step 5: Therefore, the lengths AB and BC together make AC. Answer is Yes.
