Answers
Answer:
AB=8 ( A-M-B)
Step-by-step explanation:
( A-M-B)
M is a midpoint of segment AB
AM=1/2 of AB
=1/2=8
=4
The length of the AM = 4 units
Given:
Point M is the midpoint of segment AB
Length of AB = 8 units
To find:
Find the length of AM
Solution:
Given Length of AB = 8 units
And M is the mid point of AB
Here, mid point means the point which will be at a same distance from two end points of the line segment and lies on middle of the line.
The mid point will divide line segment equally
From above information we can say that,
The midpoint (M) will divide AB into two equal segments as shown below
⇒ AM = MB
As we know AM+MB = 8 [ ∵ AB = 8 ]
⇒ AM + AM = 8 [ ∵ AM = MB ]
⇒ 2AM = 8
⇒ AM = 8/2
⇒ AM = 4 units
The length of the AM = 4 units
