Given: ΔXYZ
XY = 28 cm; XZ = 30 cm; YZ = 32
AB is a midsegment parallel to XY
What is the length of AB?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
14 cm
In any triangle, the mid-segment has the length the half of the length of the side to which it is parallel.
See the lesson The line segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle in this site.
