    Question

    Direction : In a triangular box, shelves are divided as shown in the image; EF = 5 cm is just below the midsegment, CD = 3 cm is just above the midsegment.


    If EF is the midsegment, then what is the length of the base of triangle?

    1. 5
    2. 8
    3. 10
    4. Cannot be determined

    hintHint:

    According to the midsegment theorem, the length of the midsegment is half of the length of the base of the triangle.

    The correct answer is: 8

      Step by step solution:
      If EF=5 cm is the midsegment then the length of the base = 2 x EF = 2 x 5cm = 10cm.
      Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 10cm.
      Hence, option(c) is the correct option.
