Question

PLEASE ANSWER

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF. find the length of median CP
A. 12
B. 16
C. 24
D.48​

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

2x+8=3x-12(ABCP ~FDQE)

2x-3x= -8-12

-x= -20

x=20

now,

CP=3x-12

3*20-12

48

Answer 2

12/16 = (3x-12)/(2x+8)

16(3x-12)=12(2x+8)

48x-192=24x+96

48x-24x=192+96

24x=288

X=288/24

X=12

3x-12

=(12x3)-12

=36-12

=24

C is the answer

Hope this helps!
