Find the median $ m $ of a trapezoid if long base $a = \frac{ 84 }{ 5 }$ and short base $b = \frac{ 24 }{ 5 }$.
Answer
$m = \frac{ 54 }{ 5 }$
Explanation
To find median $ m $ use formula:
$$ m = \frac{ a + b } { 2 } $$After substituting $ a = \frac{ 84 }{ 5 } $ and $ b = \frac{ 24 }{ 5 } $ we have:
$$ m = \frac{ \frac{ 84 }{ 5 } + \frac{ 24 }{ 5 } } { 2 } $$ $$ m = \frac{ \frac{ 108 }{ 5 } } { 2 } $$ $$ m = \frac{ 54 }{ 5 } $$This page was created using
