Question

Points E, F, and G are collinear. If EF = 8 and EG = 12, which point cannot lie between the other two?

Answer 1

point G can not be between

Answer 2

Point G  cannot be lie between E  and F

Given :

Points E, F, and G are collinear. EF = 8 and EG = 12

Explanation :

Three points are collinear so they lie on the same line .

Lets consider first case:

EF =8  and EG = 12

EF is smaller than EG

So F lies between E  and G

Lets consider second case,

WE can make a line FEG, E lies between F  and G

Make a line FE=8 and at point E make another line EG=12cm

So E lies between F  and G

Now consider third case,

EG=12 that is greater than EF

So G  cannot lie between E  and F
