The base of the triangle equals (2x) the mid-segment, so....

12/2 = 2x/2

6= x

If the midsegment of a triangle is 5x plus 3 and the base is 27 what is the measure of the midsegment?

The length of a midsegment is half that of the parallel side of the triangle; assuming the midsegment is parallel to the [given] base, then its length is 27 ÷ 2 = 13.5 units.


How do you find the midsegment of a trapezoid?

The midsegment is the average of the top base and bottom base. Take B1+B2 and divide by 2.


What relationship does the mid segment have to the base of a triangle?

A trapezoid midsegment is parallel to the set of parallel lines in a trapezoid and is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases


If a right triangle's hypotnuse 31 an the leg length 23 what does that leave the base?

an exact answer would be twelve times the square root of three


Why does a triangle have a base and rectangle have length?

The base is 2.5ft.


How do you find out the length of base of triangle?

The answer depends on what information you do have about the triangle.


A rectangle and triangle have equal areas the length of the rectangle is 12 in and its width is 8 in if the base of the triangle is 32 in what is the length in inches of the altitude drawn to the base?

A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas. The length of the rectangle is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?


Perimeter of a triangle with base length and height length known?

Is indeterminate.


If a trapezoid has a base measure of 90 and a midsegment length of 85 what is the measure of the other base?

The Trapezoid midsegment conjecture- the midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and is equal to the length to the average of the lengths of the bases. This is Some what Algebra....... what you do is take your length 90 and midsegment 85 into a prob like this (90+X)/2=85 times by two on both sides to cancel out the two. after that you end up with 90+X=85 next you have to "isolate" the X by subtracting 90 from both sides you would get 90+X=85 -90 -90 to get X= -5 the other side would be -5 so it doesnt work to check it plug the number back into the equation (90+-5)/2=85


How can you find the are of a triangle in a fraction?

Are of a triangle is (length of the base) times (height)/2 .


How do you find the area of a triangle if you know the length of all three sides?

The area of a triangle (At) is one half the length of the base (b) times the height (h).Atriangle = 0.5bhThe height of a triangle is the length of the line drawn perpendicular (at right angles to) to the base from the angle opposite the base.


How do you find the length of the base with no area and no height?

The measurement of the angle of the triangle...supposing it is a triangle.
