Part I: Solve for x. Show your work. (4 points)

x = 11

BC = 23

AD = 29

EF = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Trapezoid ABCD, having,

median = EF = 4x - 18

base BC = x + 12

base AD = 3x - 4

Required:

Part I: value of x

Part II: Length of BC, AD, and EF.

Solution:

Part I: Value of X

The median length of a trapezoid is said to be the ½ of the sum of the 2 bases of the trapezoid.

Therefore, EF = ½(BC + AD)

4x - 18 = ½((x + 12) + (3x - 4)

4x - 18 = ½(x + 12 + 3x - 4)

4x - 18 = ½(x + 3x +12 - 4)

4x - 18 = ½(4x + 8)

Multiply 2 by both sides

2(4x - 18) = 4x + 8

8x - 36 = 4x + 8

Add 36 to both sides

8x - 36 + 36 = 4x + 8 + 36

8x = 4x + 44

Subtract 4x from both sides

8x - 4x = 4x + 44 - 4x

4x = 44

Divide both sides by 4

x = 11

Part II:

BC = x + 12 = 11 + 12 = 23

AD = 3x - 4 = 3(11) - 4 = 33 - 4 = 29

EF = 4x - 18 = 4(11) - 18 = 44 - 18 = 26

i really dont know

step-by-step explanation:

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
