Answer: D) 10

============================================================

Explanation:

I'm assuming points M and N are midpoints of segments FD and FE respectively. If that's the case, then segment DE is twice as long compared to segment MN. We consider MN to be a midsegment.

So,

DE = 2*(MN)

3x-2 = 2*(x+4)

3x-2 = 2x+8

3x-2x = 8+2

x = 10

Two sides of a triangle measure 9 cm and 23 cm what could be the measurement of the third side of the triangle

Vladimir79 [104]

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2
(9)^2 + b^2 = (23)^2
81 + b^2 = 529
b^2 = 529 - 81
b^2 = 448
b^2 =
$\sqrt{448}$
b = 21.2
