Given the median line QR and trapezoid MNOP, what is the value of x? MN=17 QR=x+12 OP=5x-14

kari74 [83]

Answer:
x = 7
MN (first base) = 17 units
OP (second base) = 21 units
QR (median) = 19 units

Explanation:
In a trapezium, the length of the median is equal to half the sum of the two bases.

From the given, we have:
MN (first base) = 17 units
OP (second base) = 5x - 14 units
QR (median) = x + 12 units

Applying the above rule:
median = 0.5 (first base + second base)
x + 12 = 0.5 (17+5x-14)
2(x+12) = 17+5x-14
2x + 24 = 3 + 5x
24-3 = 5x-2x
21 = 3x
x = $\frac{21}{3}$
x = 7

Based on the above, the lengths would be:
MN (first base) = 17 units
OP (second base) = 5x - 14 = 5(7) - 14 = 21 units
QR (median) = x + 12 = 7 + 12 = 19 units

Hope this helps :)

Triangle ABC is a right triangle and cos(22.6)=b/13. Slobs for b and round to the nearest whole number

aliina [53]

Answer
12

Explanation
Cosine is the ratio of adjacent to hypotenuse.

So, in this case b is the adjacent and 13 is the hypotenuse.

cos22.6 = b/13
b = 13×cos22.6
= 13×0.923879532
=12.010

To the nearest whole number the answer is 12.

Fifteen more than half a number is 9

denis-greek [22]

Hey there!

"15 more than" will mean that 15 will be added to another term. The other term is "half a number", meaning 0.5x, where x is the number. This equation is equal to 9. The final equation is 0.5x + 15 = 9.

To solve this, cancel out the terms until you find what x is equal to:

0.5x + 15 = 9 (subtract 15 from both sides)
0.5x = –6 (divide both sides by 0.5)
x = –12 (final answer)

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Divide 8x2 + x2 +32x+4 by x2 +4.

Len [333]

Answer:

$\frac{8 {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} + 32x + 4}{ {x}^{2} + 4 } = 8x + 1$
