theorem Th40:
  for T being pathwise_connected non empty TopSpace,
      a, b, c, d being Point of T
  for f being Path of a,b, g being Path of b,c, h being Path of c,d
  holds rng(f+g+h) = rng f \/ rng g \/ rng h
proof
  let T be pathwise_connected non empty TopSpace;
  let a, b, c, d be Point of T;
  let f be Path of a,b;
  let g be Path of b,c;
  let h be Path of c,d;
A1: a,b are_connected by BORSUK_2:def 3;
A2: b,c are_connected by BORSUK_2:def 3;
  c,d are_connected by BORSUK_2:def 3;
  hence thesis by A1,A2,Th39;
end;
