Question

Points E, P, and S are collinear. The points are not in that order. The distance from E to S is 10 m. The distance from P to S is 24 m. Find the distance from P to E.

Answer 1

To find the distance from P to E when points E, P, and S are collinear but not in that order, you can use the idea that the total distance from P to E is the sum of the distances from P to S and from S to E.

Given:
Distance from E to S = 10 m
Distance from P to S = 24 m

Now, add these distances to find the total distance from P to E:

Distance from P to E = Distance from P to S + Distance from E to S
Distance from P to E = 24 m + 10 m

Distance from P to E = 34 m

So, the distance from P to E is 34 meters.
