If segment RM = 9, what is the length of segment MS if M is the midpoint?

Back

MS = 9; since M is the midpoint, RM = MS.

What is the length of segment RS if segment RM = 9 and segment MS = 17?

Back

RS = RM + MS = 9 + 17 = 26.

If the total length of segment JK is 64 and M is the midpoint, what is the length of segment JM?

Back

JM = 32; since M is the midpoint, JM = JK/2.
