Point V is on line segment start overline, U, W, end overline UW . Given V, W, equals, 4VW=4 and U, V, equals, 15, commaUV=15, determine the length start overline, U, W, end overline, . UW .

Answer 1

Since U, V, and W are collinear points, we can use the segment addition postulate to find the length of UW:

UV + VW = UW

Given that UV = 15 and VW = 4, we can substitute these values into the equation:

15 + 4 = UW

19 = UW

Therefore, the length of UW is 19.
