Question

D and E are the mid-points of the sides AB and AC respectively of taringle ABC. If BC = 8 cm, then
the measure of DE is
(a) 6 cm
(6) 4 cm
(c) 5 cm
(d) 2 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b 4 cm is the answer

Answer 2

ANSWER :-

(b) 4 cm.

EXPLANATION:-

BC=8cm

we know that in a triangle if a line segment is drawn from the midpoint of one side to the midpoint of the other side then the length of this line segment will be equal to half of the third side.

In this case D and E are mid points of AB and AC respectively.

so the length of DE will be equal to BC/2

DE = BC/2 cm.

=>DE = 8/2 cm.

=>DE = 4 cm.
