Question

Segment GH is a mid segment of triangle JKL.Select all of the equations that could be used to find the value of x.

Answer 1

A. 2(5x + 2) = 3x + 32

F. ½(3x + 32) = 5x + 2

Explanation:

GH = 5x + 2

KL = 3x + 32

Based on the midsegment theorem,

½(KL) = GH

That is:

½(3x + 32) = 5x + 2

Or

2(GH) = KL

That is:

2(5x + 2) = 3x + 32
