If DE = 4x+5 and GJ = 3x+25 what is DE? DE is the midpoint of the triangle.
I think 17
How can DE be a midpoint? It's a line segment.
Better describe the vertices of the triangle, as well as D,E,G,J.
To find the value of DE, we need to use the given information about the midpoint of the triangle.
In a triangle, the midpoint of a side is the average of the coordinates of the endpoints of that side. In this case, DE is the midpoint of the triangle, so we can set up an equation to find its value.
The coordinates of the endpoints of DE are represented by DE = 4x + 5 and GJ = 3x + 25. To find the average of these endpoints, we add them together and divide by 2:
(4x + 5 + 3x + 25) / 2
Simplifying the equation, we get:
(7x + 30) / 2
Therefore, the value of DE is (7x + 30) / 2.
