Question

DE is a midsegment of AABC. Find the value of x.ADB6.2XThe value of x isEC

Answer 1

The Midsegment Theorem, states that a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, is parallel and half as long as the third side, hence:

`DE=(1)/(2)AC`

using the formula:

`\begin{gathered} AC=2* DE \\ x=2*6.2 \\ x=12.4 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER

x = 12.4
