To Find : The length of the median of the trapezium ABCD.
Answer to Problem 20WE
The length of median of the trapezium ABCD is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The length of the median is the average of the two base lengths,
The median is shown in the below diagram.
Median of a trapezoid: The median (also called a midline or mid-segment) is a line segment halfway between the two bases.
Suppose that a be the length of the side of the cube.
Since
The segment DC is the diagonal of the right
The length of the median of the trapezoid is
Therefore, the length of the median of the trapezium ABCD is
