Question

If the midpoints of the sides of ∆EFG shown below were connected with line segments, what would be the perimeter of the resulting triangle? Explain how you arrived at your answer. *

Answer 1

Answer:

17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I beleive since we are connecting midpoints you divide each side by 2 and add them all up to get the perimeter of the smaller triangle made with the ratio of 1:2

Answer 2

The midpoints of the sides of ∆EFG are connected with line segments, then the perimeter of that triangle is 15.5 cm.

What is the triangle?

Triangle is a polygon that has three sides and three angles. The sum of the angle of the triangle is 180 degrees.

Given

If the midpoints of the sides of ∆EFG shown below were connected with line segments.

Then the sides of the triangle get half.

Then the perimeter will be of a new triangle will be

$\rm Perimeter = \dfrac{8}{2} + \dfrac{15}{2} +\dfrac{12}{2}\\\\Perimeter = 17.5$

Thus, the midpoints of the sides of ∆EFG are connected with line segments, then the perimeter of that triangle is 15.5 cm.
