To find: The value of x .
Answer to Problem 12WE
The length of x is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The parallel lines are shown below:
AE , BF , CG and DH are parallel to each other and EF = FG = GH . Length of AB and BC are
Calculation:
Here, ADHE is the trapezoid as AE is parallel to DH .
As EF = FG = GH and AE , BF , CG and DH are parallel to each other then the lines BF and CG are the midsegment of the trapezoid.
Hence,
The length x is calculated as follows:
Thus, the length of x is
