Answer:
x = 18
m∠HCB = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of angle FBC is 8x and the measure of angle HCB is 2x. If you add the measures of both angles it will equal to 180 degrees. This can be represented in an equation:
8x + 2x = 180
10x = 180
Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to isolate the x:
10x/10 = 180/10
x = 18
Now that we know the value of x, we can find the measure of angle HCB:
2x
2(18)
36
The measure of angle HCB is 36.

Using the left or right side of triangle, you can conclude that the midsegment will divide the triangle in both midlines of the sides. This means the length of the line would be half of the line below it. The equation would be:
47/4x+2= 94/ 4x+44
4x+44/ 4x+2 = 94/47
4x+ 44 / 4x+2 =2
4x+44 = 2(4x+2)
4x+44 = 8x+4
4x-8x= 4-44
-4x= -40
x= 10
Then the length of midline would be:
4x+2= 4(10)+2= 42
