Problema Solution
If triangle ABC is equilateral, B and C are the midpoints of lines AD and AE, and line BC is equal to 7, what is the length of line AE?
Answer provided by our tutors
an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal thus we have:
AB = BC = AC = 7
C is the middle point of AE thus
AC = CE
and since AE = AC + CE we have
AE = AC + AC
AE = 2AC
AE = 2*7
AE = 14
