Question

I tried x=44 and i still don’t understand even with the lesson, what does x equal?

Answer 1

x = 22

Explanation:

B and F are midpoints of the triangle ACE

According to the triangle midpoint theorem, the line segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is congruent to one half of the third side.

So BF ║ CE and BF = 1/2 CE

Given: BF = 2x and CE = 88

Plug in BF = 1/2 CE

2x = 1/2 (88)

2x = 44

x = 22
