Answer:
B. 37 units
Explanation:
DE = 4x + 1
AB = 11x - 25
DE is a midsegment of the ∆ABC
Therefore:
DE = ½(AB) => Triangle Midsegment Theorem
4x + 1 = ½(11x - 25)
2(4x + 1) = 11x - 25
8x + 2 = 11x - 25
Collect like terms
8x - 11x = -2 - 25
-3x = -27
-3x/-3 = -27/-3
x = 9
✔️DE = 4x + 1
Plug in the value of x
DE = 4(9) + 1 = 36 + 1
DE = 37
