Question

Points E, D, and H are the midpoints of the sides of ATUV. UV=40, TV=50, and HD = 40. Find HE.

HE=

Answer 1

HE = 20

Explanation:

A segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle is

• half the length of the third side

The segment HE joins the midpoints of sides TU and TV , then

HE is half the third side UV , that is

HE =
`(1)/(2)` × 40 = 20
