Question

1. in the diagram, \overline{st} is aligned with a centimeter ruler. what is the length of \overline{st} in centimeters? 12. compare and contrast a postulate and a theorem. 13. what are two conclusions you can draw from this statement? support your answers.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the starting and ending points

The starting point \(S\) is at \(7\) cm and the ending point \(T\) is at \(12\) cm.

Step2: Calculate the length

The length of a line segment is given by the formula \(l = |x_2 - x_1|\). Here, \(x_1=7\) and \(x_2 = 12\). So, \(l=|12 - 7|\).

$$l=12 - 7=5$$

Answer:

The length of \(\overline{ST}\) is \(5\) centimeters.
