To find the length of segment BC, we first need to express both lengths in the same unit. The total length of segment AB is given in meters, while the length of segment AC is in centimeters.
1. Convert the length of AB from meters to centimeters:
\[
1.5 \, \text{m} = 1.5 \times 100 \, \text{cm} = 150 \, \text{cm}
\]
2. Now, we know:
- Total length of AB = 150 cm
- Length AC = 4.4 cm
3. Using the relationship of the segments, we can express the length of segment BC as:
\[
BC = AB - AC
\]
4. Substitute the known values:
\[
BC = 150 \, \text{cm} - 4.4 \, \text{cm} = 145.6 \, \text{cm}
\]
Therefore, the length of segment BC is \( 145.6 \, \text{cm} \).
