anonymous · Answer

What do you know about the length of median in relation to the bases?

anonymous · Answer

that's why i'm asking for answers :)) i know that bases are the parallel sides and median is the segment joining midpoint of the legs.

anonymous · Answer

The length of the median is the average length of the bases, so
length of median = (length base one + length base two)/2

Can you fill it in?

anonymous · Answer

oh yeah :) can you solve it? so what's the answer? :D hahaha.

anonymous · Answer

4x - 3 = (x + 14 + 2x + 10)/2
4x - 3 = (3/2)x + 12
(5/2)x = 15

x = ?

anonymous · Answer

24? it's wrong right?

anonymous · Answer

the median?

anonymous · Answer

and x=8? haha am i wrong or right?

x is 6, to get the length of the median and bases just plug in x in the equations :)
So the median is 4 * 6 - 3
and the bases are 14 + 6 and 2 * 6 + 10
