**You will earn 15 points for both of the problems**

Answer 1

Below in bold.

Explanation:

First problem:

The length of the mid segment is the mean of the 2 outer segments.

So it is (11+9)/2

= 20/2

= 10.

Second problem:

As above, it is (22+28) / 2

= 50/2

= 25.

Answer 2

UV = 10

HG = 25

Explanation:

UV = (11+9)/2 = 20/2 = 10

HG = (28+22)/2 = 50/2 = 25
