The length of the midsegment of a triangle is always half the length of the side it is parallel to true or false

True. The midsegment of a triangle is halfway up the triangle, and since the top half and the full triangle are similar triangles, its dimensions are proportional.

This means half the height will give half the base (midsegment). So the midsegment is always half the length of the side it's parallel to.

Answer:

$(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1: Rewrite $x^{4}$ as $(x^2)^2$ .

$(x^2)^2-5x^2+4$

STEP 2: Let $u=x^{2}$ . Substitute $u$ for all occurrences of $x^{2}$ .

$u^2-5u+4$

STEP 3: Factor $u^2-5u+4$ using the AC method.

$(u-4)(u-1)$

STEP 4: Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $x^2$ .

$(x^{2} -4)(x^{2} -1)$

STEP 5: Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

$(x^{2}-2^{2})(x^{2}-1)$

STEP 6: Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ where $a=x$ and $b=2$ .

$(x+2)(x-2)(x^{2}-1)$

STEP 7: Rewrite $1$ as $1^{2}$ .

$(x+2)(x-2)(x^2-1^2)$

STEP 8: Factor.

$(x+2)(x-2)(x+1)(x-1)$
