- b. 8 in
How to find the distance between thyme and the oregano
Information given from the question
basil is located at point b
thyme is located at point t
oregano is located at point o
a line segment b o with point t on the line segment between b and o
the basil and the oregano is 14 in
the distance between the basil and the thyme is 6 in
distance between the thyme and the oregano = ?
interpretations
a line segment b o with point t on the line segment between b and o
the total distance is b o = 14 in
b o = b t + t o
14 = 6 + t o
t o = 14 - 6
t o = 8 in
The distance between the thyme and the oregano is 8 in along line segment b o.

Distance Between Points on Line Segment
The distance between any two points is the length of the line segment joining the points. There is only one line passing through two points. So, the distance between two points can be calculated by finding the length of this line segment connecting the two points.
In the line segment BO;
- BO = 14 in
- BT = 6 in
- TO = ?
In the line segment BO;
BO = BT + TO
Let's substitute the values in the equation;
14 = 6 + TO
TO = 14 - 6
TO = 8 in
The distance between TO is 8in
