Question

In Triangle ABC shown below, side AB is 8 and side AC is 6.

Triangle ABC with segment joining point D on segment AB and point E on segment AC.

Which statement is needed to prove that segment DE is half the length of segment BC?

Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 4.

Segment AD is 3 and segment AE is 6.

Segment AD is 4 and segment AE is 6.

Segment AD is 4 and segment AE is 3.

Answer 1

there is theorem that if segment DE is half the length of segment BC then d and e must be mid points of ab and ac

Answer 2

so it would be D then cuz if u divide each by half u get a 4 and 3?

Answer 3

In my view, If I suppose that D and E are the mid-points of the sides AB AND AC respectively.,... THen I can conclude that If Ab=8 then AD=4... i.e half of 8.. ANd AC=6 so AE=3 So I think so,, It will be the last option.......

Answer 4

yyes well dne @angelbaby

Answer 5

yay:D
