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

11) Since the triangle has a pair of congruent base angles, it is an isosceles triangle which means that the two pairs of legs are congruent.

Make them equal to each other in an equation.

5x = x + 20

Subtract x from both sides.

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 5

12) The two legs are congruent so that means the base angles must be congruent. First find the measure of the base angles. Create an equation:

x + x + 50 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 50 = 180

Subtract 50 from both sides.

2x = 130

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 65

Now make the base angle plus x equal 180, because they form a straight line.

65 + x = 180

Subtract 65 from both sides.

x = 115

13) You know the vertex angle (top angle) is 90 degrees because it is supplementary to a right angle. The triangle is isosceles because the two legs are congruent, so make the base angles plus 90 add up to 180 in an equation.

x + x + 90 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 90 = 180

Subtract 90 from both sides.

2x = 90

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 45

A landscaper has 10 2/5 cubic yards of peat moss in a truck. If he unloads 2 2/3 cubic yards at the first site and 2 1/4 cubic y

Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem bothers on fractions, here we are being presented with mixed fractions.

what we are going to do bascially is to subtract the sum of all the uloaded

peat moss in sites 1 and 2 to get from the peat moss to get the remaining for the third site

therefore

$10\frac{2}{5}-(2\frac{2}{3}+ 2\frac{1}{4})$

we then have to convert the mixed fraction to further simplify the problem we have

$\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})$

we then solve the fraction to the right of the negative symbol first

$=\frac{52}{5}-(\frac{8}{3}+ \frac{9}{4})\\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{32+27}{12} \\\\=\frac{52}{5}-\frac{59}{12} \\\\\=\frac{624-295}{60} \\\\=\frac{329}{60}$

We can now convert to mixed fraction

$=\frac{329}{60}\\\\ =5\frac{12}{25}$

For the third site the remainder is 5 12/25

Answer:

First one equals -15

Second one equals -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4)*2 - 7

= (-8) - 7

= (-15)

(-4) + 1

= (-3)
