Given:

A,B, and N are collinear and AB+BN= AN.

To find:

The point which is between the other two points.

Solution:

If A,B, and N are collinear, then these three points must be lie a single straight line.

AB + BN = AN

It means, the segment AN is the addition of two small segments AB and BN.

Using segment addition property, it is possible it and only if point B lies between A and N.

Therefore, the point B lies between A and N.
