If F,G and H are midpoints of the sides of triangleCDE, FG=9, GH=7, and CD=24, find each measure
1 answer:
Diagrams make explanations a lot easier so I created one, see bottom for the picture.
As GHF are all midpoints, that means the lines that connect them are half of the opposite sides.
CD = 2HF
DE = 2GF
CE = 2GH
As HF is 2x CD, and CD = 24:
HF = CD ÷ 2
HF = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
As DE = 2x GF and DF is 9:
DE = 2 x 9
DE = 18
As CE = 2x GH and GH = 7:
CE = 2 x 7
CE = 14
Hope this helps!

Answer:
dimension is 5cm * 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
As the plane is parallel to the base, the ratio between plane's length and width is equal to the ratio of that of the base. -> similar shape.
Moreover, it also divided the rectangular prism into 2 smaller rectangular prism. hence the plane is identical to the base. Hence, same dimension.
