The equation of line contained by the mid-segment
Answer to Problem 66HP
The equation of line contained by the mid-segment is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
First draw both lines
in the coordinate plane as:
The mid-segment of trapezoid is parallel to each base according to the Trapezoid mid-segment theorem.
Know that:
The value of the mid-segment of trapezoid is one half of the sum of the lengths of bases. Therefore, the slope of line containing the mid-segment is
The
Therefore, the equation of line containing the mid-segment is
