Step1: 回忆梯形中位线公式
梯形的中位线(midsegment)长度等于上底与下底长度之和的一半,即\(FE=\frac{UT + VS}{2}\),其中\(UT = 5x - 4\),\(VS=-6 + 8x\),\(FE = 7x - 6\)。
Step2: 代入公式列方程
将各边代入公式得:\(7x - 6=\frac{(5x - 4)+(-6 + 8x)}{2}\)。
Step3: 解方程
先化简右边:\(\frac{(5x - 4)+(-6 + 8x)}{2}=\frac{13x - 10}{2}\),则方程变为\(7x - 6=\frac{13x - 10}{2}\)。
两边同乘2消去分母:\(2(7x - 6)=13x - 10\),即\(14x - 12 = 13x - 10\)。
移项得:\(14x - 13x=-10 + 12\),解得\(x = 2\)。
Step4: 求FE的长度
将\(x = 2\)代入\(FE = 7x - 6\),得\(FE=7\times2 - 6=14 - 6 = 8\)。
