Answer:

DE ║ BC

BC = 2(DE)

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

AD = DB [Given]

AE = EC [Given]

Therefore, points D and E will be the midpoints of the sides AB and AC.

By midsegment theorem,

Segment joining midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel and measures the half of the third side of the triangle.

DE ║ BC

DE =
(1)/(2)(BC)

BC = 2(DE)
