@Opcode can u help me again please i got the other question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint : triangle midsegment theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it D? im not sure tho

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint2 : G is midpoint of AH, D is midpoint of AC

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at triangle AHC

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

GD is the midsegment right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat does midsegment theorem say ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk wat it says i don't know the thereom

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to knw tha theorem to make any sense of wat the question is about

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here is the teorem :- ``` In any triangle, a segment joining the midpoints of any two sides will be parallel to the third side. ```

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so its either b or c right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

have a look at that pic. that pic has the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think c now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

dont guess, its easy if u think a bit more

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the small arrow marks on sides, tell us that the sides are parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not guessing that's wat i thought it was

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

based on what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO it has to be b or c Right?!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the small arrow marks on sides, tell us that the sides are parallel

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use above statement

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when u look at the pic

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do u see small arrow marks on sides GD and HC ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're seeing the pic i attached right >?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i am and those two lines aren't parallel or congruent

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie so they're parallel by midsegment theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i knew it thnx for th help means a lot to me:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need a couple more tho ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :) takes time to get hang of all the million theorems in geo

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ha post, im going out for sometime... il chekc when i get back. cya
