Question

What’s the trapezoids missing length?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let CD = x

(x + 40)/2 = 31 The midline is 1/2 the sum of the 2 bases. multiply by 2 on both sides.

x + 40 = 31 * 2

x + 40 = 62 Subtract 40 from both sides.

x +40-40 = 62 - 40 Combine

x = 22

Check

(22 + 40)/2

62 / 2

31 = PQ
