On the segment AB equal to 24 cm, point K is selected so that AK = 18cm and point M so that BM = 20cm

On the segment AB equal to 24 cm, point K is selected so that AK = 18cm and point M so that BM = 20cm, find the segment KM.

Considering that the length of the segment AB is 24 cm, and the segment AK is 18 cm, you can find the length of the segment BK:

24 – 18 = 6 (cm).

Considering that the length of the BM segment is 20 cm, the length of the CM segment can be found:

20 – 6 = 14 (cm).

Answer: the length of the KM segment is 14 cm.
