Question
### Problem Statement: Find the length of \( \overline{CD} \). ### Diagram Explanation: - The diagram consists of a straight line segment labeled from point \( C \) to point \( E \). - Point \( C \) is at the start of the line, and point \( E \) is at the end. - Point \( D \) is marked on the line between \( C \) and \( E \). - The segment from \( D \) to \( E \) is labeled as \( 16.1 \). - The total length from \( C \) to \( D \) is marked as \( 31.6 \) with a blue arrow spanning from \( C \) to \( D \). ### Calculation: To find the length of \( \overline{CD} \), subtract the length of \( \overline{DE} \) from the total length \( \overline{CE} \). \[ CD = CE - DE = 31.6 - 16.1 = 15.5 \] Thus, the length of \( \overline{CD} \) is \( 15.5 \).
