Question

In ∆ASR, W, E and N are midpoints. Determine the lengths of each segment using the number bank.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A) AS = 60

B) WE = 20

C) EN = 25

D) AR+RS-AS = 30

Explanation:

Each midsegment is half the length of the parallel side. Each side is twice the length of the parallel midsegment.

A) AS = 2(WN) = 2(30) = 60

B) WE = RS/2 = 40/2 = 20

C) EN = AR/2 = 50/2 = 25

D) AR +RS -AS = 50 +40 -60 = 30
