Question

In the figure below, E and F are midpoints of sides AB and AC of AABC. Also, X and Y are the midpoints of AE and AF respectively. If AB = 5 cm BC =

6cm and AC = 8 cm , find XY.​

Answer 1

Answer:

6cm and AC =8cm find xy =4

Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorom : The line segment joining the mid-points of 2 sides of a triangle is half and parallel to third side.

In triangle ABC,  EF is half of BC so EF is 3 as BC is 6.

And in triangle AEF, XY is half of EF so XY = 1.5 as EF = 3.
