Question

O is between M and P. If OM = 11 and PO = 14, find the length of MP

Answer 1

According to the given information, we can draw the following

As you can observe in the image, MP is formed by OM plus PO by the sum of segments theorem, so using the given information, we have

`\begin{gathered} MP=OM+PO \\ MP=11+14=25 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the length of MP is 25 units.
