question
point v is on line segment (overline{uw}). given (vw = 13) and (uv = 7), determine the length (overline{uw}).
answer attempt 1 out of 2
(uw = square) submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Segment Addition Postulate

Since point \( V \) is on segment \( \overline{UW} \), by the Segment Addition Postulate, \( UW = UV + VW \).

Step2: Substitute the given values

We know \( UV = 7 \) and \( VW = 13 \). Substitute these values into the formula: \( UW = 7 + 13 \).

Step3: Calculate the sum

\( 7 + 13 = 20 \).

Answer:

\( 20 \)
