Question

An 8 in by 8 in square air vent is shown where AG = 8 inches. BF is the midsegment of AADG and CEis the midsegment of ADBF. Which of the
following is measure of CE2

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

if BF is the mid-segment of the triangle ADG then its measure will be half of the measure of AG so 0.5*8=4 by the (mid-segment theorem)

then CE is the mid-segment of triangle BDF, so its measure is will be half of BF, so 0.5*4=2

Answer 2

Answer:

CE = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment is half the length of the third side of the triangle, then

BF = $\frac{1}{2}$ × DG = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 8 = 4 , and

CE = $\frac{1}{2}$ × BF = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 4 = 2
