Answer:

Option B) 4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of n

we know that

a) GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF

then

G is the midpoint segment DF and J is the midpoint segment EF

DG=GF and EJ=JF

b) HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ

then

H is the midpoint segment GF and K is the midpoint segment JF

GH=HF and JK=KF

In this problem we have

HF=7 cm

so

GH=7 cm

GF=GH+HF ----> by addition segment postulate

GF=7+7=14 cm

Remember that

DG=GF

substitute the given values

2n-1=14

solve for n

2n=14+1

2n=15

n=7.5\ cm

step 2

Find the length of GJ

we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

so

GJ=\frac{1}{2}DE

we have

GE=2n+1=2(7.5)+1=16\ cm

substitute

GJ=\frac{1}{2}16=8\ cm

step 3

Find the length of HK

we have that

HK=\frac{1}{2}GJ ----> by the midpoint theorem

we have

GJ=8\ cm

substitute

HK=\frac{1}{2}8=4\ cm

Evaluate the expression for the given values. mx−y when m=2, x=7, and y=5 Enter your answer in the box.
irinina [24]

To evaluate this expression you just have to substitue the value that is given.

so since we know m=2 x=7 y=5

and the expression is given mx-y

plug these values in as 2(7)-5 = 14-5 = 9
