Question

A, B, and C are midpoints of ∆XYZ. What is the length of ? YZ

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

Answer 2

`YZ = 48`

Explanation:

Given

`AB = 24`

`XZ = 60`

Required

Find YZ

From the attachment, AB is parallel and equal to YC;

This implies that

`AB = YC = 24`

Given that C is the midpoint of YZ;

This implies that

`YC = CZ = 24` and
`YZ = YC + CZ`

Substitute values for YC and CZ

`YZ = 24 + 24`

`YZ = 48`
