Here's a Screenshot!

anonymous · Answer

median is the average of two lengths, TP and RA...$$XY=\frac{TP+RA}{2}$$

anonymous · Answer

just plug-in... you can solve it...

anonymous · Answer

yeha im stupid lol

anonymous · Answer

ok if we manipulate the equation i gave and solve for TP...$$TP=2XY-RA$$hope this will simplify your solution...

anonymous · Answer

tp = 2xy - ra do i plugin the numbers into that equation?

anonymous · Answer

yup...

anonymous · Answer

what do i do with the 2? TP = 48.43 - 77.2  I failed geometry for a reason. :P

anonymous · Answer

ok let us do it...
$$TP=2(48.43)-77.2=96.86-77.2=19.66$$
