I am working on the midsegments of trapezoids. I have trapezoid FGHI, the midpoints, JK. FG equation is x squared + x - 2. IH equation is x squared +3x -12. The midpoint, JK measurement is 8.
\n" ); document.write( "I have to find the indicated measure.
\n" ); document.write( "This is what I have so far,
\n" ); document.write( "x squared + x - 2 + x squared + 3x - 12= 16
\n" ); document.write( "2x squared + 4x - 14 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "2x squared + 4x -30 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "and this is where I am getting stuck.
\n" ); document.write( "PLEASE DESCRIBEE PROBLEM PROPERLY...IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN?
\n" ); document.write( "FG IS TOP SIDE
\n" ); document.write( "HI IS BOTTOM PARALLEL SIDE
\n" ); document.write( "J IS MID POINT OF FI
\n" ); document.write( "K IS MIDPOINT OF GH
\n" ); document.write( "IH EQN CANNOT BE X^2+3X-12..HI BEING A STRAIGHT LINE IT HAS TO BE LINEAR EQN.
\n" ); document.write( "THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT TO FIND?WHAT IS THAT INDICATED MEASURE?
\n" ); document.write( "UNLESS YOU GIVE ALL DETAILS PROPERLY WE CANT HELP YOU.\r
