Question

PLEASE HELPP!!!! 30 POINTS!!!

In Triangle XYZ, A is the midpoint of XY, B is the midpoint of YZ, and C is the midpoint of XZ.
Also, AY = 7. BZ = 8, and XZ = 18. What is the perimeter of Triangle ABC?
Make sure you explain why and show all your work.

Answer 1

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

AY = 7 is half of the line of XY so we would then multiply 7 by 2:

7 x 2 = 14

and we would then do this to all of our numbers:

8 x 2 = 16

18 x 2 = 36

now we make a full equation for the answer of the perimeter of triangle XYZ:

14 + 16 + 36 = 66

66 is the perimeter of triangle XYZ.

We would then divide this answer by 2 to find the perimeter of ABC because it is half of XYZ:

66 ÷ 2 = 33

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 33

Hope this helps! :)
