The length of the segment AB is 50 cm. The points MN lie on this segment. Find the length of the segment

The length of the segment AB is 50 cm. The points MN lie on this segment. Find the length of the segment MN if AM = 15cm NB = 19cm.

1. By the condition of the problem, the segment AB consists of three segments – AM, MN and NB.

It is known that the length of the segment AM is 15 centimeters, the length of the segment NB is 19 centimeters.

2. To find one of the three segments MN, it is necessary to calculate the sum of the lengths of the two known segments AM and NB.

3.AM + NB = 15cm + 19cm = 34cm.

4. Let’s calculate the length of the segment MN if it is known that the length of the entire segment AB is 50 centimeters.

MN = 50 cm – 34 cm = 26 centimeters.

Answer: The length of the segment MN is 26 centimeters.
