Given

AB = 36 cm

Find

Side DE

Step-by-step explanation

here we use mid segment theorem ,

this theorem states that the mid segment connecting the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.

so , DE = 1/2 AC

DE = 36/2 = 18 cm

final Answer
