im a junior at francis lewis high school i need help with geometry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the diagram below PQRS is a trapezoid with ST perpindicular to PQ. TU is the median if SR=x PQ =x +10 and TU =17 what is the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

helpp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is very difficult, to explain concept about geometry...... you are welcome to talk to me on skype ,if u want so, nothing to pay..... sudhanshu_kmr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

median = ((x+10)+x)/2=17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then x = 12 right?? tell me if its wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get that formula and how do u know where to plug in everything?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PQ is parallel to RS right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then median=TU=(PQ+RS)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is this formula i was never taught this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i also know it on google image= search trapezoid median xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah i see and yes it was 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay... study smart :) are you muslim?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yupe name kinda gives it away doesnt it? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just want confirmation :) assalamualaikum... farewell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waiiitt one more question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if SR=4 and PQ=12 WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF TU?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SR and PQ parallel?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TU= median?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then median =8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u find it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my answer correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the same formula im using that is (sum of the parallel side)/2 = (PQ+RS)/2=(12+4)/2= median median = 16/2= 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh i seee your a great help man thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wallahualam.. Farewell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

asalamwalikum take care
