Question

if f,g and h are midpoints of the sides of the triangle jkl, fg=40, kl=52 and gh=26, find each measure

Answer 1

Answer: The measure of JK is 60 and the correct option is d.

Explanation:

It is given that the points F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30.

The point F is midpoint of JK, point G is midpoint of KL and the point H is midpoint of LJ as shown in figure .

According to the midpoint theorem, the line connecting the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third and its length is half of the third side.

By midpoint theorem,

Therefore the measure of JK is 60 and the correct option is d.
