Answer:

b = 57.6

Step-by-step explanation:

23 +3x +13 +2x=180

add the x's

add the others

23+13=36

subtract 36 on both sides

36-36=0

180-36= 144

now get your 5x and divide by 5 on both sides

5/5 cancels out

144/5= 28.8

x= 28.8

now to find b

2·28.8= 57.6

to find 3x do the same

3 · 28.8 = 86.4

now double-check your answer by adding them all up and seeing if it = 180

57.6+86.4+36=180

If L, M and N are midpoints of the sides of PQR, PR = 46, PQ = 40, and LN=17, find each measure

Serga [27]

Check the picture below.

let's recall that the midsegment of a triangle is the segment that's half-way to both endsides and is at the same time parallel to the 3rd side, is also half the length of the parallel side, so-called the base.

so, for example, we know L, M and N are midpoints to each segment, that means that LM is a midsegment and parallel to PR and also half the length of PR, same is true for LN and MN.
