Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Question

Chapter 5.3, Problem 12WE

To determine

To find: The value of x .

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 12WE

The length of x is 4 units .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The parallel lines are shown below:

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 5.3, Problem 12WE

AE , BF , CG and DH are parallel to each other and EF = FG = GH . Length of AB and BC are 5x and 2x+12 respectively.

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,

AB=BC=CD

The length x is calculated as follows:

AB=BC5x=2x+123x=12x=4 units

Thus, the length of x is 4 units .
