If the length of segment AC equals 58, what is the length of the midsegment DE

Answer:
B) 29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AC= 58
Point D and E are the midpoints of side AB and BC Respectively.
Solution:
According to Midpoint theorem which states:
"The segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side."
[tex]\therefore[/tex] DE= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] AC
DE= [tex]\frac{58}{2} =29[/tex]
Hence length of DE is 29.
