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. Triangle ABC with medians CE, AF, and BD. Median AF is extended to point H. A segment joins points B and H and another segment joins points H and C. Which conclusion can be made based on the given conditions? Segment GF is congruent to segment EG. Segment GF is half the length of segment EB. Segment GD is congruent to segment EG. Segment GD is half the length of segment HC.

Can you upload your question's graph?

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

how do i do that?

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

OpenStudy (3mar):

That makes sense now!

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

can u help me then?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, Of course. I will not be late for any help.

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

thank you

OpenStudy (3mar):

What did you pick?

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

I thought it was B, but im really bad at Geometry....

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

but im also thinking its D....

OpenStudy (3mar):

Do you know what is the "median"?

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

uhhhh, no i dont

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

Im sorry, but I really need the answer. Im trying to finish this quiz before 11:00. And I dont understand anything on the quiz

OpenStudy (3mar):

It is not helpful for you to be given the answers without understanding how they are figured out! I will tag someone who is better than me to explain this! @KJSaif If you could help here, I would be grateful!

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

Thank you, and again...sorry

OpenStudy (3mar):

No problem and no need to be sorry! It will be ok In Sha' Allah!

The segment of a triangle that joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Applying the theorem to the marked up diagram: Segment EG is parallel to segment BH.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

so.....this gets you what? @KrissySivan? :)

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

But there is no answer choice for that...

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

@KJSaif

KjSaif (kjsaif):

your supposed to read this and find an answer :) @KrissySivan I didn't give you the answer :)

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

ohhh, so would it be B?

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

@KJSaif

KjSaif (kjsaif):

hmm......looking at this one more time....you can see that Segment GD is half the length of segment HC.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

right?

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

ohhh, yeah

KjSaif (kjsaif):

so that would be your answer! @KrissySivan :)

OpenStudy (krissysivan):

Than you!! @KJSaif

KjSaif (kjsaif):

no problem! :)
