Question

What is x equal to ?

Answer 1

Use the Midpoint Theorem to solve for x.

The theorem states that the line between the midpoints of a triangle is half the length of the side it's opposite to.

Line BF is opposite to Line CE. Line CE has a length of 88. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:


`2x = 88 / 2`

`2x = 44`

Divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself:


`x = 22`

The value of x is 22.
