Question

Find the value of x. TRIANGLE LMN , LN =x , LM=7 , MN=24

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

LM=9cm

MN=12cm

LN=15cm

∴PM=4.5cm

QN=7.5cm

And we know that the line joining the mid points of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is equal to half of it.

∴PQ=

MN=6cm

(i)Perimeter of trapezium MNQP=(4.5+7.5+12+6)

=24+6

=30cm

(ii)Area of trapezium=
