Question

In ΔPRQ, the length of QR is 8 units. The length of mid-segment XY is UNITS.

Answer 1

4 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

XY=4 units

Explanation:

From the given figure, it is given that PQR is a triangle and X and Y are the mid points on the sides PQ and PR respectively. Also, XY is parallel to QR and the length of QR is 8 units, thus using the property that if the segment joining the mid points of the sides of the triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle then the measure of that segment is half of the length of the third side.

Therefore,
`XY=(QR)/(2)`

⇒
`XY=(8)/(2)`

⇒
`XY=4 units`

Thus, the value of the mid segment XY is 4 units.
