Question

In ABC, points D and E are the midpoints of and respectively. What are the slope and length of , if the slope and length of are 0.5 and 3.2 units, respectively?

Answer 1

DE is parallel to BC since D is the midpoint of AB and E is the midpoint of AC.

Thus, DE and BC have the same slope (0.5) and basing on the formula for midpoint, the length of DE would be the equal half of BC and is equal to 1.6 units

 

The slope and length of DE, if the slope and length of BC are 0.5 and 3.2 units, respectively are 0.5 and 1.6 respectively.
