Question 67

In $$\triangle ABC, D, E$$ and $$F$$ are the midpoints of sides AB, BC and CA, respectively. If AB = 12 cm, BC = 20 cm and CA = 15 cm, then the value of $$\frac{1}{2}(DE + EF + DF)$$ is:

Solution

By mid point theorem,

DF = BC/2 = 20/2 = 10 cm

DE = AC/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 cm

EF = AB/2 = 12/2 = 6 cm

$$\frac{1}{2}(DE + EF + DF)$$

= $$\frac{1}{2}(7.5 + 6 + 10)$$

= $\frac{23.5}{2}$$ = 11.75 cm
