Question

23) Find the length of the median of each trapezoid. A) 7.4 C) 5.6 B) 5.8 D) 6.1

Answer 1

Answer:  5.8 (choice B)

=================================================

Explanation:

To find the length of the median, we add up the parallel sides and divide by 2. In other words, we're averaging the parallel sides to get the length of the midsegment shown.

FE = (WX + VY)/2

FE = (4.5 + 7.1)/2

FE = 11.6/2

FE = 5.8
