To find: The values of x and y for given
Answer to Problem 16WE
The length of x and y are
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The triangle is shown below:
The line segment joins the midpoints of triangle sides. Length of sides are
Calculation:
Line segment passes through the midpoint of the side of triangle.
Hence,
According to the midsegment theorem, the length of midsegment is half of the base of triangle.
Hence,
Thus, the length of x and y are
