The figure shows triangle ABC with medians AF, BD, and CE. Segment AF is extended to H in such a way that segment GH is congruent to segment AG.
Which conclusion can be made based on the given conditions? Select one: a. Segment GD is congruent to segment GF. b. Segment GD is parallel to segment HC. c. Segment GF is parallel to segment EB. d. Segment BH is congruent to segment HC.
@Opcode can u help me again please i got the other question
hint : triangle midsegment theorem
is it D? im not sure tho
hint2 : G is midpoint of AH, D is midpoint of AC
look at triangle AHC
GD is the midsegment right ?
yes
wat does midsegment theorem say ?
idk wat it says i don't know the thereom
you need to knw tha theorem to make any sense of wat the question is about
here is the teorem :- ``` In any triangle, a segment joining the midpoints of any two sides will be parallel to the third side. ```
oh so its either b or c right?
have a look at that pic. that pic has the answer
i think c now
dont guess, its easy if u think a bit more
the small arrow marks on sides, tell us that the sides are parallel
im not guessing that's wat i thought it was
based on what ?
SO it has to be b or c Right?!!
the small arrow marks on sides, tell us that the sides are parallel
use above statement
when u look at the pic
do u see small arrow marks on sides GD and HC ?
yes i do
you're seeing the pic i attached right >?
yea i am and those two lines aren't parallel or congruent
okie so they're parallel by midsegment theorem
ok i knew it thnx for th help means a lot to me:)
i need a couple more tho ok
np :) takes time to get hang of all the million theorems in geo
ha post, im going out for sometime... il chekc when i get back. cya
