Answer:

The correct option is B. The median connects the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a trapezoid two opposite sides are parallel to each other and they are known as base sides. Other two sides are known as legs of trapezoid.

Median is of a trapezoid is a line segment joining the midpoints of legs. The median is parallel to the base sides and the length of median is average of length of base sides.

$\text{Length of median}=\frac{\text{Length of base 1}+\text{Length of base 2}}{2}$

Therefore correct option is B. The median connects the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid.

Answer:

$Total\ amount\ of\ water\approx720\ ml$ (Estimation)
$Actual\ amount\ of\ water=714\ ml$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is:</h3><h3> "At breakfast, he drinks 237 milliliters. At lunch, he drinks 300 milliliters. At dinner, he drinks 177 milliliters. Estimate the total amount of water Rogelio drinks. Then, find the actual amount of water he drinks at all three meals."</h3>

In order to estimate the total amount of water Rogelio drinks at all three meals, you need to follow these steps:

1. Round 237 milliliters and 177 milliliters to the nearest Tens place.

If the digit in the Ones place is less than 5, you must round down.

If the digit in the Ones place is greater than or equal to 5, you must round up.

Then:

$237\ ml\approx240\ ml\\\\177\ ml\approx180\ ml$

2. Add 240 milliliters, 300 milliliters and 180 milliliters:

$Total\ amount\ of\ water\approx240\ ml+300\ ml+180\ ml\approx720\ ml$

In order to find the actual amount of water Rogelio drinks at all three meals, just add 237 milliliters, 300 milliliters and 177 milliliters. This is:

$Actual\ amount\ of\ water=237\ ml+300\ ml+177\ ml=714\ ml$
