Question

I’m only solving for x, it’s triangle mid-segment.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!

I hope you remember that mid-segment theorem, in which it is stated that, line which passes through the midpoint of one side triangle bisects base, are parallel to another side of triangle and that line is half of parallel side. (i.e CB = 1/2 of RT) .

Now, Let's simply solve it.

$cb = \frac{1}{2} \times rt$

Put their values as given in question.

$x + 19 = \frac{1}{2} \times (x + 29)$

Simplify them.

2x + 38 = x +29

2x - x = 29 - 38

x = -9.

Hope it helps...
