Question

In this picture B,D, and Fare

midpoints. AC=50, CE=60, and
BD=35
5
AE=[?]
Enter

Answer 1

AE = 70

Explanation:

since triangle BDF bisects each side of triangle AEC, then triangle BDF is a medial triangle and the result is the following:

all four triangles are congruent (their sides are proportional)

sides that measure 25: BA, BC, DF

sides that measure 30: CD, DE, FB

sides that measure 35: FA, FE, BD

if FA = 35 and FE = 35 then AE = 70
