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 length of ST? Please explain your answer

Aliun [14]

We know that

If a tangent segment and a secant segment are drawn to a circle from an exterior point, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the measures of the secant segment and its external secant segment. (Intersecting Secant-Tangent Theorem)

ST²=RT*QT

RT=7 in

QT=23+7-----> 30 in

ST²=7*30-----> 210

ST=√210-----> 14.49 in

the answer is

RT=14.49 in
