The Triangle Midsegment Theorem tells us that if a segment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then it is parallel to the third side of the triangle and its length is one-half the length of that side.

We are given â–³KLM and its midsegments JH, JP, and PH. Let's find the value of x.
The Triangle Midsegment Theorem tells us that, if a segment joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then it is parallel to the third side of the triangle and its length is $\textcolor{darkviolet}{\text{one-}} \textcolor{darkviolet}{\text{half}}the length of that side.

Finally, we will substitute the given values into this equation to findx.$
x=1/2( 2.7) ⇔ x=1.35
