Question

Find the value of x?!??????

Answer 1

x = 31

Explanation:

Given:

MN = 20

PQ = x

RS = 42

Required:

Value of x

SOLUTION:

In a trapezoid, the midsegment length equals the sum of both bases divided by 2

This implies that:

PQ = ½(MN + RS)

Plug in the values

x = ½(20 + 42)

x = ½(62)

x = 31
