The line CD is the median of thre trapezoid, therefore its measures is shown below:
 You must sum the largest base and the shortest base and divide both of them by 2, as following:
 CD=(4.5+2.5)/2
 CD=7/2
 CD=3.5
 Therefore, as you can see, the measure of the line CD is 3.5
 The answer is: 3.5

The correct answer is 3.5

A trapezoid is a 4-sided flat shape with straight sides. This shape has a pair of opposite sides parallel. So according to the figure we know the following:

\overline{AC}=\overline{CE}

And it is also true that:

\overline{BD}=\overline{EF}

We know that the lengths of the parallel sides are given by:

\overline{AB}=2.5 \\ \\ \overline{EF}=4.5

So the goal is to find the length of Line CD. This line is in fact the <em>median</em> of the trapezoid <span>(also called a midline or midsegment) that is a line segment half-way between the two bases and it can be found as follows:
</span>
m=\frac{\overline{AB}+\overline{EF}}{2}=\frac{2.5+4.5}{2}=\frac{7}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{\overline{CD}=m=3.5}

son4ous [18]
Sounds like rearranging to me:

P=2(a+b) -- expand brackets
P=2a+2b -- subtract 2a
P-2a=2b -- divide by 2

b=(P-2a)/2

If h(x) = 6 – x, what is the value of (h circle h) (10)
Andrew [12]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = 6 - x

(h o h)(x) = h(h(x)) = 6 - h(x) = 6 - (6 - x) = 6 - 6 + x = x

(h o h)(x) = x

(h o h)(10) = 10
