Question

Any help would be great!
What is the value of x?
A.6
B.12
C.15
D.30

Answer 1

A. 6

Explanation:

The midsegment of a triangle is half of the bottom side. So if the bottom side is 60, than the midsegment must be half, which is 30.

To get 30 for the midsegment, you need to multiply 6 to 5.

You can set up the equation like this:

2(5x) = 60

10x = 60

x = 6

OR

5x =
`(1)/(2)`(60)

5x = 30

x = 6
