Question

What is the value of t?

Points D and E are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC.
The perimeter of the triangle is 48 units.

Answer 1

T=2

Explanation:

Answer 2

T = 2.

Explanation:

Since we only have half the side lengths for AB and BC, we need to multiply those by 2. This gives us AB = 6t and BC = 8t.

6t + 8t + 7t + 6 = 48.

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation. This gives us 6t + 8t + 7t = 42.

Add all the variables together for 21t = 42.

Divide by 21. t = 2.

That's the value of T.
