In the given figure we can determine the coordinate of point M from the graph, we get:

M=(\frac{d}{2},\frac{c}{2})

We can also determine the coordinates of point N as:

N=(\frac{a+b}{2},\frac{c}{2})

Now, to determine the length of segment MN, we need to subtract the x-coordinate of M from the coordinates of N, we get:

MN=\frac{a+b}{2}-\frac{d}{2}

Subtracting the fractions we get:

MN=\frac{a+b-d}{2}

Now, to obtain the length of AB we need to subtract the x-coordinate of A from the x-coordinate of B.

The coordinates of A are determined from the graph:

A=(0,0)

The coordinates of B are:

B=(a,0)

Therefore, the length of segment AB is:

AB=a

Now we do the same procedure to determine the segment of CD. The coordinates of C are:

C=(b,c)

The coordinates of D are:

D=(d,c)

Therefore, CD is:

CD=b-d

Now, we determine MN as half the sum of the bases. The bases are AB and CD, therefore:

MN=\frac{1}{2}(a+b-d)

Therefore, we have proven that the median of a trapezoid equals half the sum of its bases.

Untaxi viaja
juin [17]

Answer:

60 millas por hora.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dado que un taxi viaja  a una velocidad de 48 mph  para llegar a un destino en 2 horas y media, para determinar cuál seria su velocidad si se tarda dos horas para llegar ​se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

48 x 2.5 = 120

120 / 2 = X

60 = X

Así, su velocidad, si se tardase dos horas en llegar, sería de 60 millas por hora.
