Question

Can someone please help me? I've had barely any help for the last two hours.

SQ is a mid segment of triangle NOP. What is the length of OP?

Answer 1

Okay, a midsegment divides something in half. That means that SQ is half the length of PO.
I think lol,
So, 5x-2+5x-2=8x+6
Then you solve for x.
When you get the answer of x, plug it into your original equation, and you should get the answer.
I think that's right...I haven't done midsegments and stuff in a while.
Do you understand? o.e

Answer 2

Yes that makes perfect sense! Thank you so much! I knew it was half of 8x+6 but it wan't clicking that I had to do 5x-2 twice. Thank you so much!

Answer 3

You're welcome! :)
