In ΔABC, and m∠ABC = 90°. D and E are the midpoints of and , respectively. If the length of is 9 units, the length of is units and m∠CAB is °.

Applying the midsegment theorem and the definition of isosceles triangle:

DE = 4.5 units

m∠CAB = 45°

The image that shows ΔABC is attached below.

Since AB = BC, therefore, ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.

This implies that, the base angles will be equal.

Thus:

If m∠ABC = 90°, therefore,

m∠CAB = ½(180 - 90)

m∠CAB = 45°.

DE is the midsegment of the triangle, and is parallel to the third side, CA = 9 units.

Based on the midsegment theorem, we have the following equation:

DE = ½(9)

DE = 4.5 units.

Therefore, applying the midsegment theorem and the definition of isosceles triangle:

DE = 4.5 units

m∠CAB = 45°
