Find the median $ m $ of a trapezoid if long base $a = 16\, \text{cm}$ and short base $b = 12\, \text{cm}$.
Answer
$14\, \text{cm}$
Explanation
To find median $ m $ use formula:
$$ m = \frac{ a + b } { 2 } $$After substituting $ a = 16 $ and $ b = 12 $ we have:
$$ m = \frac{ 16 + 12 } { 2 } $$ $$ m = \frac{ 28 } { 2 } $$ $$ m = 14 $$This page was created using
