Question

Point M is between points N and O on NO Find the length of NM if MO = 12.3 and NO = 26.9.

Answer 1

Answer:  The length of NM is 14.6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure below, the point M lies between the points N and O on NO. MO = 12.3 and NO = 26.9.

We are to find the length of NM.

Since the point M lies on the straight line NO, so from the figure, we get

$NM+MO=NO\\\\\Rightarrow NM=NO-MO\\\\\Rightarrow NM=26.9-12.3\\\\\Rightarrow NM=14.6.$

Thus, the length of NM is 14.6 units.

Answer 2

NM + MO = NO
NM + 12.3 = 26.9
NM = 26.9 - 12.3
NM = 14.6
