In the figure below, points J, K, and L are the midpoints of the sides of AXYZ. Suppose XZ=28, KL = 42, and YZ = 76. Find the following lengths.

In The Figure Below Points J K And L Are The Midpoints Of The Sides Of AXYZ Suppose XZ28 KL 42 And YZ 76 Find The Following Lengths class=

Sagot :

Given data:

The first length is XZ=28.

The second length is KL = 42.

The third side of triangle is YZ = 76.

If line passing through the mid points of the two sides of the triangle then the given line is half of the third side.

[tex]\begin{gathered} KL=\frac{1}{2}XY \\ XY=2(KL) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute the given value in the above expression.

[tex]\begin{gathered} XY=2(42) \\ =84 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The expression for JY is,

[tex]JY=\frac{1}{2}XY[/tex]

Substitute 84 for XY in the above expression.

[tex]\begin{gathered} JY=\frac{1}{2}(84) \\ =42 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The expression for JK is,

[tex]JK=\frac{1}{2}(YZ)[/tex]

Substitute 76 for YZ in the above expression.

[tex]\begin{gathered} JK=\frac{1}{2}(76) \\ =38 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the value of XY is 84, the value of JY is 42, and the value of JK is 38.
