Point M divides segment AB into two segments – AM and MB, so the sum of the lengths of these two segments is equal to the length of segment AB:
AM + MB = AB.
AM = AB – MB.
430 millimeters = 43 centimeters
We substitute the known values:
AM = 43 – 29;
AM = 14 centimeters.
Answer: the length of the segment AM is 14 centimeters.
