What is the length of BC?

Answers:
From the markings on the diagram, we can tell E is the midpoint of BC and is the midpoint of AC:D
We can apply the theorem: ED = BA.:triangle midsegment
Substituting in the expressions for the lengths and solving for x, we get x = .:5
Now, since BE = x, then BC = .:10
