Question

What is the length of WE?

Answer 1

Answer:  20

Explanation:

Midsegment WE is parallel to segment RS. Recall that midsegments are half as long as the side they are parallel to. So we cut the side RS = 40 in half to get WE = (RS)/2 = 40/2 = 20.

Answer 2

Answer:

I'd say the length of WE is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of RN is 20, since it is half of RS which is 40. We can measure lines RN, EN, WE, and WR as a rectangle. Once we do this, we know that the bottom line of a rectangle is equal to the top line of the same rectangle, and since WE is the top line to RN, WE is 20.
