Question

Point M is between points L and N. Use the information given to solve for segments LM, MN.

a) LM = 4 and MN = 36
b) LM = 9 and MN = 18
c) LM = 5 and MN = 50
d) LM = 7 and MN = 16

Answer 1

The correct answer is LM = 7 and MN = 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for segments LM and MN, we need to add the lengths of the segments together. For option a) LM = 4 and MN = 36, we get a total length of 4 + 36 = 40. So, LM = 4 and MN = 36 is incorrect.

For option b) LM = 9 and MN = 18, we get a total length of 9 + 18 = 27. So, LM = 9 and MN = 18 is incorrect.

For option c) LM = 5 and MN = 50, we get a total length of 5 + 50 = 55. So, LM = 5 and MN = 50 is incorrect.

For option d) LM = 7 and MN = 16, we get a total length of 7 + 16 = 23. So, LM = 7 and MN = 16 is correct.
