Answer 5

So my guess is that we need to take a triangle and find a way to cut through two sides equally such that the line is parallel to the third side.

Answer 6

Alright I see what you did there

Answer 7

What do you notice about this figure?

Answer 8

does line DE intersect, with side CB?

Answer 9

No it's parallel
