Answer:
The length of mq is 4 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :m is between points c and q.
cm = 17 and cq = 21
To Find : what is mq?
Solution:
Refer the attached figure
Length of cq = 21
m divides the line into two parts i.e. cm and mq
This means cm+mq=cq --1
Length of cm= 17
Substitute the values in 1 to get the value of mq
[tex]17+mq=21[/tex]
[tex]mq=21-17[/tex]
[tex]mq=4[/tex]
Hence the length of mq is 4 units.
