    Question

    If DE = 5 inches is the midsegment of a triangle ABC, find the length of BC

    1. 5
    2. 2.5
    3. 10
    4. 12.5

    hintHint:

    Since, DE is the midsegment of triangle ABC, DE should be half the length of BC. With the help of this theorem we can find the length of BC.

    The correct answer is: 10

      Step by step solution:
      DE = 5 inches
      DE = 1 half BC
      BC = 2 DE = 2 × 5 = 10 inches
      Thus, length of BC is 10 inches.
      Hence, option(d) is the correct option.
