Question

Find the length of the midsegment.

15
22
44
13

Answer 1

The midsegment (5x+2) is exactly half as long as the parallel side (3x+32)


So this means


\[\Large \frac{1}{2}*(3x+32) = 5x+2\]
\[\Large 3x+32 = 2*(5x+2)\]
\[\Large 3x+32 = 10x+4\]

keep going to solve for x

Answer 2

once you know what x is, use it to compute 5x+2

Answer 3

22

Answer 5

yep it's 22

Answer 6

nice work

Answer 7

thanks at first I put 15 because in both equations it would equal 77

Answer 8

If M∠J=66, m∠L=64, and m∠K=50, list the sides of ΔJLK in order from smallest to largest

Answer 9

Rule: the largest angle is always opposite the largest side

Rule: the smallest angle is always opposite the smallest side
