Question

GH=4x-1 and DH=8. Find x D is the mid point of GH ...?

Answer 1

If D is the midpoint of GH, then GH equals 2(DH) = 16
16 = 4x - 1
4x = 17
x = 17/4
x = 4.25

Answer 2

Answer:

x=4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that GH=$4x-1$

and DH=8

D is the mid point of GH

We have to value of x

We know that D is the mid point then

DH=DG

DH+DG=GH (segment addition property)

$8+8=4x-1$

$16=4x-1$

$4x=16+1$

$4x=17$

$x=\frac{17}{4}$

x=4.25
