Fantastic 4 Gif
geometry problem im really confused on?
Solve for x if BD=x+3 and AE=4x-2.
B is the midpoint of AC.
D is the midpoint of CE.
A. 5/7
B. 4
C. 5/3
D. 2
B and D both could work for this problem, so I’m a bit confused? Or maybe I’m wrong all together?
i’m also a bit confused with these two problems, so if you could help with these too, that would be fantastic!!

If segment BD is the altitude of triangle ABC, find the value of x.
A. 10
B. 13
C. 19
D. 37
Hi,
Solve for x if BD=x+3 and AE=4x-2.
B is the midpoint of AC.
D is the midpoint of CE.
x = 4
To get this realize that BD connects 2 midpoints of the triangle, so BD is a midsegment. The midsegment BD is parallel to side AE and is equal to half of its length. That means side AE = 2(BD). This equation becomes:
4x – 2 = 2(x + 3)
4x – 2 = 2x + 6
2x – 2 = 6
2x = 8
x = 4
If AC=24 and AD=2x-2, then find the value of x.
x = 7
Since AC = 24 and D is the midpoint then AD and DC are both 12. If AD = 2x – 2, then:
2x – 2 = 12
2x = 14
x = 7
If segment BD is the altitude of triangle ABC, find the value of x.
x = 19
If BD is an altitude to AC then it forms right angles at point D. So 90 = 5x - 5 I hope that helps!! Ken discovers a plothole in Escape From Monkey Island
95 = 5x
19 = x
