Answer:

DE = 5

BC = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔAED is a right triangle with legs of 4 and 6/2 = 3

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find DE

[tex]4^{2} + 3^{2} = DE^{2}[/tex]

16 + 6 = 25 = [tex]DE^{2}[/tex]

DE = 5

The midsegment of a triangle is 1/2 the length of the corresponding side.

Therefore, BC = 2 DE = 2(5) = 10 = BC
