Answer:
The value of x is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the figure in which
DE=3x-8 and BC=20
we have to find the value of x.
By mid-point theorem which states that the line segment which is drawn to the mid-points of two sides of triangle is parallel to the third side and also half of the length of third side.
[tex]DE=\frac{1}{2}BC[/tex]
[tex](3x-8)=\frac{1}{2}\times 20[/tex]
[tex]3x-8=10[/tex]
[tex]3x=18[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{18}{3}=6[/tex]
The value of x is 6
Option 2 is correct.
