Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

When you join 2 consecutive midpoints with a line between them, the length of that line is 1/2 the length of the side opposite the line you just drew.

In other words 24 is 1/2 the length of yz.

Solution

1/2 yz = AB

AB = 24

1/2 yz = 24                 Multiply both sides by 2

2(1/2 yz) = 2*24

yz = 48

Answer

yz = 48
