Question

Kyle is creating a frame for a model car. He begins by piecing two rods together, as shown in the diagram. Justity why AM = 6.

Answer 1

A midpoint divides a line segment into equal halves.

$AM = 6$ by (b) the definition of a midpoint.

From the attached diagram, we have:

$AM = 6$

$AE = 12$

The relationship between AM and AE is:

$AE = AM \times 2$

or

$AM = \frac 12AE$

Because

$AM = \frac 12 \times 12$

$AM = 6$

$AM = \frac 12AE$ implies that:

AM is the half of AE

Hence, $AM = 6$ by the definition of a midpoint.
