During a quiz today in geometry It was collinear points problem involving points a b and c b is between a and c ab equals 10x plus 7 and bc equals 4x-16 ac isnt given i dont get it Does anyone know?

Collinear means they all lie on a straight line.
If point b is between a and c, then the distance ac = distance ab + distance bc:
ac = ab + bc
= (10x + 7) + (4x - 16)
= (10x + 4x) + (7 - 16)
= 14x - 9
i forgot to mention that the question is looking for x not ac

Any problem of geometry which should be solve by algebra as well as geometry?
well, i think the answer to your question is getting the measurement of the side using the Pythagorean Thereom, with the formula:c2=a2+b2.
What is a figure with sides made by line segments that meet to form angles?
A polygon. ---- nope sorry.. i could have two lines they are non-collinear .. and they meet - ie. they intersect.. and well, they will have = made an angle - by definition of what it means .. when two non-collinear lines meet.. polygon has to be closed.. there is nothing in the statement of the problem that one can use to state even is there are more than 2 sides.. let alone if its a closed set..
Why is it impossible to draw a line segment as it exists in Euclidean geometry?
The problem is that the width of a line is zero. No drawing instrument can manage that!
What should the value of pi be in taxicab geometry?
The value of pi in taxicab geometry technically does not exist as any taxicab shape would consist of right angles. A circle does not contain any right angles, therefore circles do not exist in taxicab geometry (so neither does the value pi).However, if you were to place a square around a circle with diameter 1, where each side is a tangent to the circle and then removed the corners of the square repeatedly without ever removing any or the area of the circle (see Figure 1), the value of 'pi' in that case would be 4 (as pi = diameter/circumference (or in this case perimeter)).Figure 1Here the problem arises, as perimeter and circumference are not exactly the same thing. Circumference only pertains to a circle (and circles do not exist in taxicab geometry) whereas perimeter pertains to any geometric shape (whether in taxicab geometry or Euclidean geometry).
Sample of problem solving in geometry?
A word problem: Bob wants to make a triangular yard. He knows that is is a right triangle and one degrees is 90 degrees. One leg is 3 yards and the other is 4 yards. What is the longest side? So you use the theorem. This is an easy exmple.
