Question

Help with triangles.... See image

Answer 1

ok, so those are midpoints

Answer 2

A-B-D-E-A is the path

Answer 3

1.7 + BD + 1.5 + 4 = Total Distance

Answer 4

Ok I'm following.

Answer 5

Since BD and AE are parallel, the two triangles are similar

Answer 6

BD will be half of AE

Answer 7

Lookat is like, AC is the transversal, and it crosses parallel lines AE and BD

Answer 8

corresponding angles are equal

Answer 9

applying those rules, you can prove that the two triangles are similar

Answer 10

BD = 2

Answer 11

Theorem:
The segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to and half the length of the third side.

Answer 12

TOTAL = 1.7 + 1.5 + 4 + 2

Answer 13

Yeah, that theorem is found by similar triangles right Math?

Answer 14

Awesome I got it thanks so much!

Answer 15

Yes.
