Answer:

1. x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The Trapezoid Midsegment Theorem states that a line segment connecting the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and equal to half their sum.

In this problem you can see that 5x - 1 is the midsegment of the trapezoid, so using the rule:

$(21 + 27) / 2 = 5x -1$

solve:

$48/2 = 5x-1\\24 = 5x - 1\\25 = 5x\\x= 5$

2. Diagonals are congruent

You can see in this picture that the diagonals are not always congruent:

What is the value of x? A. 6 B. 5 c. 4 D.3

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

CD is an angle bisector and divides the opposite side into segments which are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is

$\frac{BC}{AC}$ = $\frac{BD}{AD}$ , substitute values

$\frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{x}{2.25}$ ( cross- multiply )

3x = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 3 → D
