The is B, CA=2xy,

A triangle property states that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side.

Verify this statement for ABC by calculating the length of the two segments using the distance formula.

$\begin{eqnarray}\text{length\;}CA &=& \sqrt{(-3-(-5))^{2}+(3-(-3))^{2}} \;=\; \sqrt{40} \;=\;2\sqrt{10}\\\huge a\hspace{-20}\\\text{length\;}XY &=& \sqrt{(0-1)^{2}+(-2-1))^{2}}\;=\; \sqrt{10}\end{eqnarray}$

Thus, $\sqrt{10}$ is half $2\sqrt{10}$ , therefore, CA = 2XY

In triangle ABC the points X,Y, and Z are midpoints.
