Answer:

The measure of length of segment EF is 6 cm

C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment EF is a mid segment of triangle ABC.

If BC = 12 cm

Please see the attachment for diagram.

EF is mid-segment of ABC

E is mid point of AB and F is mid point of AC.

Using mid point theorem.

EF is parallel to BC

EF is half of BC

[tex]EF=\dfrac{1}{2}BC[/tex]

[tex]BC=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12 = 6[/tex]

Hence, The measure of length of segment EF is 6 cm
