Question

ABC has been translated 5 units to the right, as shown in the diagram. What is the length of ?

A.
15

B.
6

C.
31

D.
10

Answer 1

(A) 15 centimeters

Explanation:

A midsegment of a triangle is always 2 things:

Half the size of the bottom of the triangle (in this case AC)

Parallel to the bottom of the triangle.

Since ABC is an equilateral triangle, we know that EVERY side is 30cm, including AC.

So the midsegment of ABC, LM, must be 15 cm.

Hope this helped!
