Answer: 21

=================================================================

Work Shown:

The diagram shows that JK = 12 and GF = 2.5*(JK) = 2.5*12 = 30

The midsegment HL will be the average of the two lengths it is parallel to.

We'll add up the values and then cut the result in half

HL = (JK+GF)/2

HL = (12+30)/2

HL = 42/2

HL = 21
