Question

If the length of AC equals 58, what is the length of the midsegment DE

Answer 1

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 29

Step-by-step explanation :

As we know that midsegment is defined as the line segment that connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

The property of midsegment is:

A triangle midsegment is parallel to the third side of the triangle and is the half of the length of the third side.

As we are given that:

Length of AC = 58

Now we have to determine the length of DE.

According to the midsegment property:

Length of DE =
`\frac{\text{Length of AC}}{2}`

Length of DE =
`(58)/(2)`

Length of DE = 29

Thus, the length of the midsegment DE is, 29
