To find: The length of MN .
Answer to Problem 2CE
The length of MN is 5 units.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The triangle is shown below:
Side XZ is 10 units. M , N and T are the midpoints.
Calculation:
Consider in
Angle XMT and XYZ are the corresponding
Consider in triangles NMY and ZXY .
Angle YNM and YZX are the corresponding angles. Hence, line NM and ZX or ZT are parallel to each other.
Thus, MNZT is parallelogram.
The side MN is calculated as follows:
Thus, the length of MN is 5 units.
