question about geometry?

how can you use the triangle midsegment conjecture to find a distance between two points that you can't measure directly?

this is for a college preparatory geometry class. the three triangles midsegment conjecture is the three midsegments of a triangle divide it into 4 congruent triangles. I know that part i just don't know how to solve the other part of the problem.
