Question

Points E, D, and H, are the midpoints of the sides of triangle TUV, UV = 68, TV=88, and HD= 68. Find HE.

Answer 1

we have the triangle TUV

we know H, E and D are midpoints, and as you call from the previous one, the midsegment is made by the midpoints, so HE is the midsegment of the triangle, with a parallel base of UV, well, we know what UV is, so the midsegment is half that.

UV=68

TV=88

HD=68

`HE=(68)/(2)=34`

HE=34
