OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yes... I know how to solve it.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

@TheSmartOne do you know how to do this

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

this is called finding midsegment

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so the ratio of corresponding sides is 2:1 so then \[\frac{12x}{x + 3} = \frac{2}{1}\] now you can solve for x

|dw:1453760439040:dw| I dont think its right
