Step-by-step explanation:

$Length \: of \: midsegment \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times sum \: of \: lengths \: of \: bases \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times(14 + 24) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times38 \\ \\ = 19 \: units$

Answer:19

Step-by-step explanation:The midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the two congruent sides of the trapezoid, and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.Therefore , to find the length of the midsegment , all we need do is to add the two bases together and divide by two , that is :

Length of mid segment = $\frac{14+24}{2}$

Length of mid segment = $\frac{38}{2}$

Length of mid segment = 19

Write the equation of the line perpendicular to

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Solving for y, we add 5y to both sides and subtract 4, getting 9x-4=5y. Dividing both sides by 5, we get 9x/5-4/5=y. Since the slope is 9/5 (since 9/5*x=9x/5), we multiply it by -1 and find the reciprocal of it to get -5/9 as the perpendicular slope, so -5x/9+b=y. Plugging 1 in for x and -6 in for y, we get -5*1/9+b=-6 and by adding 5/9 to both sides we get -5-4/9=b , and since in y=mx+b y and x are variables, we end up with y=-5x/9+(-5-4/9) for slope intercept form.

To get it into standard form, we need it in ay+cx=b with a, b, and c being constants. Adding 5x/9 to both sides, we end up with y+5x/9=(-5-4/9) for standard form

Find the value of x.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

18.0

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Triangle with sides, 16, 30, and x, and a measure of an angle corresponding to x = 30°

==>Required:

Value of x to the nearest tenth

==>Solution:

Using the Cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C)

Let c = x,

a = 16

b = 30

C = 30°

Thus,

c² = 16² + 30² - 2*16*30*cos 30°

c² = 256 + 900 - 960 * 0.8660

c² = 1,156 - 831.36

c² = 324.64

c = √324.64

c = 18.017769

x ≈ 18.0 (rounded to nearest tenth)
