Question

Midsegment of triangle
Find X

Answer 1

x = 25.5

Explanation:

The mid- segment line is parallel to and half the measure of the third side, thus

x - 8 =
`(35)/(2)`

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

2x - 16 = 35 ( add 16 to both sides )

2x = 51 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 25.5
