Given that V, W, and X are the midpoints of triangle STU , what is the relationship between TX and XU?

abdullahm · Answer

X is the midpoint of TU

What does that mean about the relationship between TX and XU?

Is one greater than the other, or are they equal?

anonymous · Answer

A) 2TX=XU
B) TX= 1/2 XU
C) TX parallel XU
D) TX congruent to XU

@AbdullahM I don't know, that's everything they gave me

abdullahm · Answer

Hint: 

Parallel means that the sides never meet each other. But you can see that they are adjacent, and there is no way XU and TX are parallel.

Congruent means the same thing as equal to.

X is a midpoint of TU

Is TX = XU??
