Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming these questions are about the Midline Theorem (segment AL joins the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.

♦  The midline's length is the average of the lengths of the top and bottom parallel sides.

$AL=\frac{OR+CE}{2}$

Use this equation and substitute values given in each problem, then solve for the missing information.

1. AL = x, CE = 9, OR = 5

$x=\frac{9+5}{2}=7$

2. AL = m - 4, CE = 15, OR = 17

$m-4=\frac{15+17}{2}=16\\\\m-4=16\\\\\\m=20\\\\AL=20-4=16$

3. OR = y + 5, AL = 15, CE = 18

$15=\frac{(y+5)+18}{2}\\\\15=\frac{y+23}{2}\\\\30=y+23\\\\7=y\\\\OR = 7+5=12$
