Find the measure of HG

Answer 1

40 m

Explanation:

Given midline JK = (6x -4) m and baseline HG = 10x m, you want the measure of HG.

Midline

The midline of a triangle is half the length of the parallel baseline.

JK = 1/2·HG

6x -4 = 1/2(10x)

x -4 = 0 . . . . . . . . . subtract 5x

x = 4

10x = 10·4 = 40

The measure of HG is 40 meters.
