Answer 2

Answer:

OQ = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment Addition Postulate

If a third point B lies on a line segment with endpoints A and C, then AB + BC = AC

Given:

• OP = 17
• QP = 6

Q is the point on the line segment OP, so:

⇒ OQ + QP = OP

Substitute the given values of OP and QP to find OQ:

⇒ OQ + 6 = 17

⇒ OQ + 6 - 6 = 17 - 6

⇒ OQ = 11
