Point M is the midpoint of the line equation ABMC. Which of the following is not true? (1)AM = MC (2) AB < MC (3) AM > BC or (4) BM < MC

If M is the midpoint, it doesn't really matter where B is located between A and M. AM will equal MC. AB will be less than MC. BM will be less than MC. That leaves AM greater than BC. What do you think?

To determine which of the following is not true, we need to understand the properties of a midpoint.

A midpoint is a point that divides a line segment into two equal parts. In this case, point M is the midpoint of line segments AB and MC. Therefore, we can conclude that:

(1) AM = MC: This statement is true because in a midpoint, the distances from the endpoints to the midpoint are equal. So, AM and MC have the same length.

(2) AB < MC: This statement may be true or false. Without further information, we cannot determine the relationship between AB and MC.

(3) AM > BC: This statement is not true. It is incorrect to compare the lengths of AM and BC since they are parts of different line segments, AB and MC.

(4) BM < MC: This statement may be true or false. Without further information, we cannot determine the relationship between BM and MC.

Therefore, the statement that is not true is option (3) AM > BC.
