E is the midpoint of DF, DE = 2x + 4, and EF = 3x + 1. Find DE, EF, and DF.

1 answer:

8 0

When there is a midpoint in a line segment, the two segments that are then produced have to be equal. So that means that because E is a midpoint of DF, DE=EF.
Set up the equation.
DE=EF
2x+4=3x+1
Then solve for x.
x=3
Then plug it back in the equation to find DE and EF.
DE=2x+4=2(3)+4=10
Because DE=EF then EF is also 10.
DF is made from the addition of DE and EF so DF is twice EF.
DF= 20

DE= 10, EF= 10, DF= 20

Hope this helps.

There are three kinds of statement that we could construct base on the given where as Vertical angels are congruent. First is converse: If angle 1 is 90 degree then angle 2 is 90. Second is Inverse: If angle 2 is not 90 then angle 1 is not. Third is Contrapositive: If angle 2 is not 90 then angle 1 is not 90 also.
