Question

Please be quick!

Given the median QR and trapezoid MNOP, what is the value of x? ​
i think its 5 but idk?

Answer 1

The value of x is 6

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the length of the mid-segment

Mathematically;

if we add the length of the two parallel bases and divide by 2, we get the length of the mid-segment

Thus;

(x + 8 + 5x + 4)/2 = 24

6x + 12 = 2(24)

6x + 12 = 48

6x = 48-12

6x = 36

x = 36/6

x = 6
