Question

if mn is a midsegment to abc find the values of x and y. this is the only time im gonna use this so here's 50 points

Answer 1

x would equal 3 and y would equal 7

thanks for the points to mate

Answer 2

The missing variables of the midsegment are:

x = 4

y = 6

How to find the length of the midsegment?

For a midsegment, it means it is the middle point of a line which buisects the line into two equal parts.

Thus:

AM = BM

Thus:

3x - 1 = x + 7

2x = 8

x = 4

Similarly:

5y - 10 = 38 - 3y

8y = 48

y = 6
