Answer 1

Answer:

RS = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle then it is half the length of the third side, that is

- 5x + 44 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (18 + 4x) ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

- 10x + 88 = 18 + 4x ( add 10x to both sides )

88 = 18 + 14x ( subtract 18 from both sides )

70 = 14x ( divide both sides by 14 )

5 = x

Then

RS = - 5x + 44 = - 5(5) + 44 = - 25 + 44 = 19
