Determine the value of x:

x=

Answer 1

x = 17

Explanation:

The midsegment of a triangle is a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. A triangle has three mid-segments, one for each pair of sides.

Mid-segments have some special properties.

For example,

• a mid-segment is always parallel to the third side of the triangle, and
• its length is half the length of the third side.

By using this property.

We can say that

`x = (1)/(2) 34`

x = 17

Therefore, the value of x is 17.

Answer 2

x = 17

Explanation:

A segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle is

• half the length of the third side

the segment x joins the midpoints of 2 of the sides of the triangle , then

x =
`(1)/(2)` × 34 = 17
