AB contains midpoint M and points C and D, as shown. Compare the lengths. If you cannot draw a conclusion, write impossible to tell. Explain your reasoning a. AM and MB b. AC and MB c. MC and MD d. MB and DB
Added by Darlene H.
Step 1
Since M is the midpoint of AB, we know that AM = MB. So, $\boxed{AM = MB}$. b. We cannot determine the relationship between AC and MB without more information. So, $\boxed{\text{impossible to tell}}$. Show more…
