If L, M and N are the midpoints of the sides of the triangle PQR, PR= 46, PQ = 40, and LN = 17, find each measure.; LM, MN, QR and the perimeter of LMN

LM = 23; MN = 20 ; QR = 34 ; Perimeter of LMN is 60
Here, we want to find the measures
From what we have, triangle LMN is formed by joining the midpoints of the triangle PQR
From the midpoint theorem, the sides of PQR are parallel and exactly half the measure of the sides they face
For example, LM is half PR
a) LM
[tex]LM\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times PR\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times46\text{ = 23}[/tex]b) MN
[tex]MN\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times PQ\text{ = }\frac{1}{2}\times\text{ 40 = 20}[/tex]c) QR
Here, QR will be twice the measure of LN
[tex]QR\text{ = 2}\times LN\text{ = 2}\times17\text{ = 34}[/tex]d) To find the perimeter of LMN, we have to add up the measure of the side lengths
We have this as;
[tex]\text{LMN = LM + LN + MN = 23 + 17 + 20 = 60}[/tex]
