Answer:

Line segment BM can be found only if we have information regarding point B (explained how below), otherwise not

Explanation:

If a line segment AM has length = 10 cm, to find length of line segment BM, depends on details availability reading point B.

If we have any information about the point B lying on line segment AM, we can find BM.

Like : BM = AB - BM. Eg : If AM = 10 cm, AB = 5 cm, BM = 10 - 5 = 5 cm

Eg: B lies at 1/4th the distance from point A, than M from point A. AB = 2.5cm, BM = 7.5 cm

If there is no information regarding point B, we cannot find segment BM
