Given:
The figures of triangles and their mid segments.
To find:
The values of n.
Solution:
Mid-segment theorem: According to this theorem, mid segment of the triangle is a line segment that bisect the two sides of the triangle and parallel to third side, The measure of mid-segment is half of the parallel side.
9.
It is given that:
Length of mid-segment = 54
Length of parallel side = 3n
By using mid-segment theorem for the given triangle, we get
Divide both side by 3.
Hence, the value of n is equal to 36.
10.
It is given that:
Length of mid-segment = 4n+5
Length of parallel side = 74
By using mid-segment theorem for the given triangle, we get
Divide both side by 4.
Hence, the value of n is equal to 8.
