Question

write a proof of the triangle midsegment theorem

now write a proportion using \\(\overline{gh}\\) and \\(\overline{df}\\). choose the correct answer below.

\\(\bigcirc\\) a. \\(\dfrac{gh}{df} = \dfrac{eh}{hf}\\)

\\(\bigcirc\\) b. \\(\dfrac{gh}{df} = \dfrac{ef}{eh}\\)

\\(\bigcirc\\) c. \\(\dfrac{gh}{df} = \dfrac{eh}{ef}\\)

\\(\bigcirc\\) d. \\(\dfrac{gh}{df} = \dfrac{ef}{ed}\\)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Triangle Midsegment Theorem involves similar triangles formed by midsegments. For segments $\overline{GH}$ and $\overline{DF}$, the correct proportion comes from corresponding sides of similar triangles, where $\overline{GH}$ corresponds to $\overline{DF}$, $\overline{EH}$ corresponds to $\overline{EF}$.

Answer:

C. $\frac{GH}{DF} = \frac{EH}{EF}$
