The order of the letters, determined by the given distances VX (8), XY (4), YZ (9), and VZ (13), is VXZY. This arrangement reflects the increasing distances along the line. (option D)
The order of the letters is determined by the given distances: VX (8), XY (4), YZ (9), and VZ (13). Starting with the smallest distance, XY (4), the order progresses to VY (8, the sum of VX and XY), then YZ (9), and finally VZ (13, the greatest distance).
Therefore, the correct order is VXZY.
This sequence ensures a logical progression based on the specified distances between the points, reflecting the spatial arrangement of the letters along the line.
Option D is the answer.
The complete question is:
What is the order of the letters if the distance between VX is 8, XY is 4, YZ is 9, and VZ is 13?
A. VXYZ
B. VZXY
C. VYXZ
D. VXZY
