Length of the median CP

Given:

ΔABC ΔDEF

To find:

The length of median CP

Solution:

In ΔABC,

AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12

In ΔDEF,

DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8

If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.

Do cross multiplication.

Add 192 on both sides.

Subtract 24x from both sides.

Divide by 24 on both sides.

⇒ 12 = x

Substitute x = 12 in CP.

CP = 3(12) - 12

     = 36 - 12

     = 24

The length of median CP is 24.

right

step-by-step explanation:

correct answer is option b.

step-by-step explanation:

the true statement about geometric figure is option b that is one line can be drawn through all three points.

if three points are on the same plane, they can be connected by a line.
