Answer
Given:
A, B and C are collinear points.
AB = 6 cm, BC = 4 cm, AC = 10 cm
Let's check:
AB + BC = 6 cm + 4 cm = 10 cm = AC
Since AB + BC = AC, point B lies between A and C.
∴ Point B lies between A and C.

Why is it better to use a divider and a ruler than a ruler only, while measuring the length of a line segment?
In the adjoining figure, compare the line segments with the help of a divider and fill in the blanks by using the symbol >, = or <:
(i) AB …. CD
(ii) BC …. AB
(iii) AC …. BD
(iv) CD …. BD
In the adjoining figure, verify the following by measurement:
(i) AB + BC = AC
(ii) AC - BC = AB
In the adjoining figure, verify by measurement that:
(i) AC + BD = AD + BC
(ii) AB + CD = AD - BC
