The length of the segment ab is equal to 50 cm of the point m and n lie on this segment.

The length of the segment ab is equal to 50 cm of the point m and n lie on this segment. Find the length of the segment MH if AM = 23 cm, HB = 21 cm.

Let us determine how many centimeters the total length of the segments AM and NB equals, knowing by the problem statement that the length of the segment AM is 23 centimeters, and the length of the segment NB is 21 centimeters:

23 + 21 = 44.

Let us determine how many centimeters the length of the segment MN is equal to, knowing by the condition of the problem that the length of the segment AB is 50 centimeters:

50 – 44 = 6.

Answer: The length of the segment MN is 6 centimeters
