Answer:

50 inches

Explanation:

Given: S and E are the midpoints of BA and AM. and EM = 9

Therefore, then the length of AB = 18 and AM = 18

Use the similar triangle properties.

7/BM = 9/18

BM = (7*18)/9

BM = 7*2 = 14 inches.

Therefore, the perimeter of BAM is = AB + BM + AM

= 18 + 14 + 18

= 50 inches
