Question

Help, explain step by step please!

Answer 1

@Hero can you help me on this?

Answer 2

We know the two opposite sides, and we know the length of the midsegment, which is the average of the other two.

\[\frac{(5)+(2x+7)}{2} = 6x-24\]

Solve for x, and then you can evaluate the length of the unknown base.

Answer 3

Oh alright, one second let me solve.

Answer 4

x = 6

Answer 5

Yep! Good job.

Answer 6

So what is the length of the other side? And the midsegment, as long as you're at it?
