Question

The side length of a square ABCD is 20 inches. What is the side length of the square formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of ABCD?

Answer 1

10 inches

Explanation:

Given the side length if ABCD = 20 inches.

The midpoint of the sides ABCD implies the point that divides each of the sides into two equal parts.

Midpoint of side AB = BC = CD = AC =
`(20)/(2)` = 10 inches

So that, the side length of the square to be formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of ABCD is 10 inches.
