Question

If PN=29cm and MN=13 , then PM=?

Answer 1

*see attachment for the figure referred to

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. PN = 29

MN = 13

PM = ?

$PN = PM + MN$ (Segment addition postulate)

$PN - MN = PM$ (subtract MN from each side)

$29 - 13 = PM$ (substitute)

$16 = PM$

$PM = 16 cm$

2. PN = 34, MN = 19, PM = ?

$PN = PM + MN$ (sediment addition postulate)

$PN - MN = PM$ (subtract MN from each side)

$34 - 19 = PM$ (substitute)

$15 = PM$

$PM = 15 cm$

3. PM = 19, MN = 23, PN = ?

$PN = PM + MN$ (Segment addition postulate)

$PN = 19 + 23$ (substitute)

$PN = 42 cm$

4. MN = 82, PN = 105, PM = ?

$PN = PM + MN$ (segment addition postulate)

$PN - MN = PM$ (subtract MN from each side)

$105 - 82 = PM$ (substitute)

$23 = PM$

$PM = 23 cm$

5. PM = 100, MN = 100, PN = ?

$PN = PM + MN$ (Segment addition postulate)

$PN = 100 + 100$ (substitute)

$PN = 200 cm$
