Question

question 7 (multiple choice worth 1 points) (01 06r lc) a gardener is planting herbs in a line in a garden. basil is located at point b, thyme is located at point t, and oregano is located at point o b t o if the distance between the basil and the oregano is 14 in and the distance between the basil and the thyme is 6 in, what is the distance between the thyme and the oregano? 4 in 8 in 10 in 20 in

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between the distances

We know that \(BO = BT+TO\) (since the points \(B\), \(T\), and \(O\) are collinear).

Step2: Substitute the known values

Given \(BO = 14\) in and \(BT=6\) in. Substitute into the formula \(TO=BO - BT\).

$$TO=14 - 6$$

Step3: Calculate the value

$$TO = 8$$

Answer:

\(8\) in
