points Q and R are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC. Triangle A B C is cut by line segment Q R. Point Q is the midpoint of
side A B and point R is the midpoint of side A C. The lengths of A Q and Q B are 4 p, the length of Q R is 2 p + 3, and the length of C B is 6 p minus 4. The lengths of A R and R C are congruent. What is AQ? 10 units 14 units 20 units 32 units

Answer:
AQ = 20 units
Step-by-step explanation:
I tried figuring in the pic below..
Similar triangles are triangles whose corresponding measures are proportional. All of their corresponding angles are also congruent. There are theorems and postulates that prove triangle similarity. Usually they requrie at least three parts of each triangle. The symbol for similarity is ~.
We have two triangles in the figure. ΔAQR and ΔABC. We will prove first that they are similar.
