Question

in triangle ABC X,Y are midpoint ofAB,AC and height of triangle ABC is 8cm,XY=6cm find area of triangl e ABC

Answer 1

48 cm
are of triangle=1/2*base*height
here height=8cm
by mid point theorem the length of the two mid points of two sides is half of the third side and parallel to this side
therefore,
XY=1/2(BC)
2(6)=BC
12=BC
we got height and base value also now find the area
area=1/2*12*8
area=48 cm
