Find the value of x in each diagram

Answer 1

A. x = 8.

B. x = 31.

C. x = 32.

Explanation:

Here. the sum of the 2 parallel sides of the trapezoid = 2 * length of the middle line segment.

MN + RS = 2PQ

32+ x = 2*20

x = 40 - 32

x = 8.

MN + RS = 2PQ

20 + 42 = 2PQ

2x = 62

x = 31

MN + RS = 2PQ

22 + 42 = 2PQ

2x = 64

x = 32.
