An ant is crawling along a straight wire, which we shall call the xx axis, from AA to BB to CC to DD (which overlaps AA), as shown in the figure below. (Figure attached) OO is the origin. Suppose you take measurements and find that ABAB is 39 cmcm , BCBC is 17 cmcm ,and AOAO is 5 cmcm . 1) What is the ant’s position at point AA? Express your answer in centimeters. 2) What is the ant’s position at point BB? Express your answer in centimeters. 3) What is the ant’s position at point CC? Express your answer in centimeters. 4) What is the ant’s position at point DD? Express your answer in centimeters.
