What is a disadvantage of comparing line segments by mere observation?
A) Lack of precision in measurement
B) Inability to visually assess length accurately
C) Difficulty in converting observations into standardized units
D) Limited applicability to certain types of line segments
Which of the following statements best explains why a divider is often preferred over a ruler when measuring the length of a line segment?
A. A divider is more precise because it eliminates errors caused by the thickness of the ruler and angular viewing.
B. A divider is less expensive than a ruler.
C. A divider is easier to use than a ruler.
D. A divider is more versatile than a ruler.
Consider a line segment AB, with a point C lying between A and B. The lengths of the segments are measured as follows: AB = 7 cm, AC = 3 cm, and CB = 4 cm. Is the equation AB = AC + CB satisfied?
A) AB ≠ AC + CB
B) AB = AC + CB
C) AB > AC + CB
D) Insufficient information to determine
If A, B, C are three points on a line such that AB = 5 cm, BC = 3 cm, and AC = 8 cm, which one of them lies between the other two?
A) A
B) B
C) C
D) None; they are not collinear

Find PM and MQ, given that M is the midpoint of the segment.
PM = 22, MQ = 22
PM = 11, MQ = 22
PM = 11, MQ = 11
PM = 22, MQ = 11
