Answer:
[tex] \overline{XY} = 1.5 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AB = 3
BC = 5
CA = 6
Required:
Length of XY
SOLUTION:
According to the Triangle Midsegment Conjecture, midsegment [tex] \overline{XY} [/tex] is half the length of [tex] \overline{AB} [/tex].
Therefore:
[tex] \overline{XY} = \frac{1}{2}(\overline{AB}) [/tex]
Thus:
[tex] \overline{XY} = \frac{1}{2}(3) [/tex]
[tex] \overline{XY} = \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \overline{XY} = 1.5 [/tex]
