Segments AB, BC, CM are sequentially laid on one straight line. AC = BM = 18cm, BC = 7cm. Find AM.

1. To calculate the distance AM, you must first find the distance AB and CM. Distance AB is equal to:

AB = AC – BC = 18 – 7 = 11 (cm).

2. Now let’s calculate the distance between points C and M:

CM = BM – BC = 18 – 7 = 11 (cm).

3. Finally, the entire distance AM can be calculated. To do this, add the distances AB, BC and CM:

AM = AB + BC + CM = 11 + 7 + 11 = 29 (cm).

Answer: the distance AM is 29 cm.
