Solution
AB = 5 cm, AC = 9 cm and BC = 11 cm …(Given)
In ∆ABC,
Points X and Y are the midpoints of sides AB and BC respectively. ...(Given)
∴ XY = `1/2` AC ...(From midpoint theorem)
∴ XY = `1/2xx 9`
∴ XY = 4.5 cm
In ∆ABC,
Points Y and Z are the midpoints of sides BC and AC respectively. ...(Given)
∴ YZ = `1/2` AB ...(From midpoint theorem)
∴ YZ = `1/2xx 5`
∴ YZ = 2.5 cm
In ∆ABC,
Points X and Z are the midpoints of lines AB and AC respectively. ...(Given)
∴ XZ = `1/2` BC ...(From midpoint theorem)
∴ XZ = `1/2xx 11`
∴ XZ = 5.5 cm
