It might be helpful to draw a diagram of a line in this case, but you could do this algebraically as well. The midpoint of any segment is basically the average of the two endpoints of the segment. Thus, for example, the midpoint of AC would be the value of A added to the value of C, which is then divided by 2 to get B. You just have to find all of the values for each of the letters, and then find the distance between B and D, for instance, which (the distance) may be represented as a system of equations with the statement of the distance for AE.

What are the values of x and y?

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

x is equal to 24 and y is equal to 66.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of y, we first have to note that the unlabeled angle in the larger triangle, y and the 78 degree angle create a straight line. The unlabeled angle is equal to 36 since it and the other two angles equal 180. So we take that 36, 78 and y and can set that equal to 180.

36 + 78 + y = 180

114 + y = 180

y = 66

Now that we have that value, we can use y and the 90 degree angle to find x.

x + y + 90 = 180

x + 66 + 90 = 180

x + 156 = 180

x = 24
