Answer:

D. a is equal to  \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that segment PQ is 8 units, so that its midpoint M is at 4 units to both P and Q.

Given that X is the midpoint of PM, this implies that X is at 2 units to both P and M.

Then;

PX = aPQ

⇒   = a x 8

      = 8a

Therefore, a must be equal to \frac{1}{4}, so that;

PX = 8a

     = 8 x  \frac{1}{4}

     = 2 units

Thus, a is equal to  \frac{1}{4} is the correct option.

in triangle ABC shown below, L is the midpoint of BC, M is the midpoint of AB, and N is the midpoint of AC. Find the perimeter o
alexdok [17]

35

since m and n are the midpoints of ab and ac resistively

then ,bc=2mn=16

since m and l are the midpoints of ba and bc respectively

then, ac =2mn =10

then,nc =1/2 × 10 =5

similary, mb=6

then ,perimeter=nc+mb+mn+bc=5+6+8+16=35
