Question

In the figure P and Q are mid points of AB and AC respectively. The perimeter of triangle ABC is:

• A. 17
• B. 16.5
• C. 11.5
• D. 16

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 17

• Since PQ connects the midpoints of AB and AC, it must be parallel to BC, and its length is half the length of BC.

• Therefore, BC=2×PQ.

• BC=2×3.5=7 units.

• perimeter of triangle ABC = 7 + 4 + 6 = 17
