1. Given the bases a and b of a trapezoid, the length of the median m can be found by the formula [tex]m= \frac{a+b}{2} [/tex]
2. MP and NO are the bases so applying the above formula:
[tex]24= \frac{(x+8)+(5x+4)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]48= 6x+12[/tex]
[tex]6x=36[/tex]
x=6
Check the picture for the proof of the theorem m=(a+b)/2
