Find the median $ m $ of a trapezoid if long base $a = 11$ and short base $b = \frac{ 11 }{ 2 }$.
Answer
$m = \frac{ 33 }{ 4 }$
Explanation
To find median $ m $ use formula:
$$ m = \frac{ a + b } { 2 } $$After substituting $ a = 11 $ and $ b = \frac{ 11 }{ 2 } $ we have:
$$ m = \frac{ 11 + \frac{ 11 }{ 2 } } { 2 } $$ $$ m = \frac{ \frac{ 33 }{ 2 } } { 2 } $$ $$ m = \frac{ 33 }{ 4 } $$This page was created using
