Question

Find the length of XY.

Answer 1

XY = 50

Explanation:

Triangle given in the picture,

Point B, C and D are the midpoints of the sides of the triangle.

By applying midsegment theorem in the given triangle,

"Segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel and half of the length of the third side"

CD =
`(1)/(2)(XY)`

25 =
`(1)/(2)(XY)`

XY = 50

Therefore, XY = 50 is the answer.
