The points are collinear.

Segment Addition Postulate

Practice makes perfect

According to the given statement, segment AB added to segment BC is equal to the segment connecting points A and C.

From the figure, we can see that these three points are collinear. This means they are all on one line. Therefore, the Segment Addition Postulate applies. This postulate tells us that if B is between A and C, then the following is true. AB+BC=AC
