Segment VY is a midsegment of trapezoid FEDC. Find x.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment VY is half the sum of the parallel bases , that is
VY = , then
3x + 18 = (x + 96) ← multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
6x + 36 = x + 96 ( subtract x from both sides )
5x + 36 = 96 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 12
