From the diagram below, if side AB is 36 cm., side DE would be ______.

Given
AB = 36 cm
Find
Side DE
Explanation
here we use mid segment theorem ,
this theorem states that the mid segment connecting the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.
so , DE = 1/2 AC
DE = 36/2 = 18 cm
final Answer
therefore , the correct option is c
