• triangle a c b is cut by line segment e d. line segment e d goes from side b c to side a c. the length of b a is 4 x minus 6 and the length of e d is x + 2. the length of b e is x. sides b e and e c are congruent. sides a d and d c are congruent. what is the length of bc? from the markings on the diagram, we can tell e is the midpoint of bc and is the midpoint of ac we can apply the theorem: ed = one-halfba. substituting in the expressions for the lengths and solving for x, we get x = . now, since be = x, then bc = .
