The length of the segment KM is 6 cm 3 mm point P lies on the segment KM

The length of the segment KM is 6 cm 3 mm point P lies on the segment KM and the length of the segment KP is 39 mm, find the length of the segment PM.

Let us express the length of the KM segment in millimeters:

1 cm = 10 mm;

6 cm 3 mm = 6 * 10 + 3 mm = 60 mm + 3 mm = 63 mm.

Let’s calculate the length of the PM segment (subtract a short segment from the long segment):

63 mm – 39 mm = 24 mm is the length of the PM segment.

Answer: The length of the PM segment is 24 millimeters.
