Since each leg of the large trapezoid is bisected, then HJ is the average of the lengths of KL and NM.
HJ = (KL + NM)/2
2(HJ) = KL + nm
2(5x + 2) = 4x + 1 + 27
10x + 4 = 4x + 28
6x = 24
x = 4
KL = 4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
Answer: KL = 17
The value of a=7 will make the equation true
Answer:
The area of the trapezium is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezium:

This formula is valid if b1 and b2 are parallel and h is perpendicular to both.
Since the trapezium given in the problem satisfies those conditions, we use the formula with:
b1=15 cm
b2=7 cm
h=6.8 cm


The area of the trapezium is 
As a decimal it is 4.875.
