The MID function is used to extract some text from the middle of an existing piece of text. If you wanted to get characters from the start of text, you can use the LEFT function, but that is not sufficient if you wanted to start extracting text from the middle of a piece of text. Using the MID function you can start at any point in the text and get an amount of characters from it. You specify the text, then the starting point and then the amount of characters you want. For example, the following will give you BCD by starting at the second character and getting three characters from it.
=MID("ABCDEF",2,3)
There are lots of times MID can be useful. Sometimes you can use the find function to find a character to start from, like finding the first space, and starting from there. So suppose you have a list of names that include titles like Mr. or Mrs. and you want to find the first letter of the surname. That would require finding the first space and then the next character. So if you had Mr. Smith in cell B2, to extract the S you would use the MID function and the FIND function like this:
=MID(B2,FIND(" ",B2)+1,1)
You would use the MEDIAN function. If the cells with your data were from A2 to D50, then the function would be:=MEDIAN(A2:D50)
You could use the CONCATENATE function or the & operator. The following two formulas will do the exact same thing. They both use the MID function to extract two pieces of text and then combine them into one piece of text. =CONCATENATE( MID( A2, 2, 3 ), MID( A3, 2, 4 ) ) =MID( A2, 2, 3 ) & MID( A3, 2, 4 )
If you want to take some text from a cell there are a number of functions that can be used. The LEFT function will take an amount of characters that you specify from the left end of a cell. The RIGHT function will do the same thing from the right end. The MID function can take text from the middle of a cell.
There are a number of functions you can use for manipulating text. As cool are the last 4 letters on the right you can use the Right function to get them. It takes an amount of letters from the right edge of a piece of text in a cell. Presuming the sentence was in A1, the function would be: =Right(A1,4) To get coo, the function to use is Mid. This can pick text out from the middle of a piece of text. In that piece of text, coo starts at the 10th character and goes on for 3 characters. You have to specify that in the function. This is how you would do that: =MID(A1,10,3) There are a few other approaches. To find where a piece of text begins in a sentence you can use the Find function as follows: =FIND("coo",A1) That will give you 10, as that is where coo starts. So you could use that to search within the sentence by putting it into the MID function if you didn't know where coo started. Here it replaces the 10 that was in the first time we used MID, but it will still give you 10, so the result will be the same: =MID(A1,FIND("coo",A1),3)

The base of the triangle equals (2x) the mid-segment, so.... 12/2 = 2x/2 6= x
