Since point O is the midpoint of both segments AB and CD, we can conclude that segments AO and BO are equal in length.
Let's denote the length of segment AO (or BO) as x. Since point O is the midpoint, we can also conclude that segment AD (or CO) is twice the length of segment AO.
Therefore, the length of segment AD (or CO) is 2x.
Given that segment AC is equal to 30 cm, we can express it as the sum of segment AO (x) and segment AD (2x):
AC = AO + AD 30 = x + 2x 30 = 3x
Solving this equation for x:
3x = 30 x = 30 / 3 x = 10
Therefore, the length of segment AO (or BO) is 10 cm.
Now, let's find the length of segment BE. Since point O is the midpoint, we can conclude that segment BO is equal in length to segment OE.
Therefore, the length of segment BE is equal to twice the length of segment BO:
BE = 2 * BO BE = 2 * 10 BE = 20
Therefore, the length of segment BE is 20 cm.
