If DM=60 then DC = 40 units CM = 20 units

If DM = 60 units, it means that DM represents the entire length of a segment and we need to find the lengths of two smaller segments, DC and CM, which are parts of the same segment DM.

Many geometric shapes have specific ratios between different segments within them. In this case, the given shape adheres to a known ratio for its segments.

DC = 2/3 * DM = 2/3 * 60 units = 40 units

CM = 1/3 * DM = 1/3 * 60 units = 20 units

Therefore, DC = 40 units and CM = 20 units.
