Question

In this picture B and F are midpoints x=

Answer 1

44 You will get the 2x and 88 and divide 88 by 2x

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The required value of x is 22.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that B and F are the midpoints of the sides AC and AE of triangle ACE.

Also, BF = 2x and CE = 88.

We are to find the value of x.

Midpoint theorem : If a line segment joins the midpoints of any two sides of a triangle, then it is parallel to the third side and its length is equal to half of the length of the third side.

From triangle ACE, we have

B and F are the midpoints of the sides Ac and AE respectively, so BF will be parallel to CE and its length will ne half of the length of side CE.

Therefore,

`BF=(1)/(2)* CE\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=(1)/(2)*88\\\\\Rightarrow 2x=44\\\\\Rightarrow x=(44)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow x=22.`

Thus, the required value of x is 22.
