Question

1. in the diagram, $overline{st}$ is aligned with a centimeter ruler. what is the length of $overline{st}$ in centimeters?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the starting and ending points

The starting point \( S \) is at \( 7.0\) cm and the ending point \( T \) is at \( 12.0\) cm.

Step2: Calculate the length

The length of a line segment is found by subtracting the starting - point value from the ending - point value. So, \( l=\text{Ending point}-\text{Starting point}\).

$$l = 12 - 7$$

Answer:

\(5\) centimeters
