Points D and E are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC. The perimeter or the triangle is 48 units. What is the value of t?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangle are acute, obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and right angled triangle.

Since point D and E are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC, hence:

AD = BD = 3t, BE = CE = 4t, AC = 7t + 6

The perimeter of triangle ABC = AC + BC + AB = AC + AD + BD + BE + CE;

Substituting:

48 = 7t + 6 + 3t + 3t + 4t + 4t = 21t + 6

48 = 21t + 6

21t = 42

t = 2 units
