Example 4
If point Y is the midpoint of VX and WY = 3 in., classify ∆VWY as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. Explain your reasoning.

Example 4
If point Y is the midpoint of VX and WY = 3 in., classify ∆VWY as equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. Explain your reasoning.
∆VWY is scalene. Since Y is the midpoint of VX, we know that VY = YX = .5(VX) = 4.2 in. Along with the fact that WY = 3 in., we know all threesides of ∆VWY have different measures, thus making ∆VWY a scalene triangle.
