Given the median 24 and trapezoid mnop what is the value of x
x+8 no
5x+4 mp
a. 6
b. 18
c. 2
d. 5
e. 7
f. cannot be determined

1. Given the bases a and b of a trapezoid, the length of the median m can be found by the formula 

2. MP and NO are the bases so applying the above formula: 







x=6

Check the picture for the proof of the theorem m=(a+b)/2

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
