Question

Find the length of WB

Answer 1

• WB = 16 in

---------------------------

According to picture we observe:

• W is midpoint of AT and B is the midpoint of TE.

The segment connecting the midpoints is the midsegment.

As per property of the midsegment, it is parallel to opposite side and is half of its measure.

It tells us that WB is parallel to AE and:

• WB = AE/2
• WB = 32/2
• WB = 16 in
