Question 73

In the given figure, EADF is a rectangle and ABC is a triangle whose vertices lie on the sides of EADF and AE = 22, BE = 6, CF = 16 and BF = 2. Find the length of the line joining the mid-points of the sides AB and BC.

Solution

From the above figure, $\triangle$ EBF and $\triangle$ABC are similar.
$\frac{AC}{EF}$=$\frac{AB}{EB}$


$$AC^2 = 8^2 + 6^2 = 100$$
So AC = 10

$$\frac{10}{EF}$$ = 2

EF = 5

Length of line joining mid-points will be = 5
