Line LM is the mid-segment of rectangle ABCD. AB=72 and DC=104. What is LM?
A.176
b. 88
c.98
d.32
To find the length of LM, which is the mid-segment of rectangle ABCD, we need to know a bit more about the properties of mid-segments in rectangles.
In a rectangle, a mid-segment is a line segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of the rectangle. It is always parallel to the longer sides of the rectangle and its length is half the length of the longer side.
Given AB = 72 and DC = 104, we can determine which side is longer. In this case, DC is longer.
To find the length of LM, we need to divide the length of the longer side, DC, by 2.
Length of LM = DC / 2 = 104 / 2 = 52.
Therefore, the correct answer is not given in the options you have provided.
