Question

Trapezoid EFGH has the following measurements, where EF is a base and h represents the altitude. EF = 7 cm, FG = 9 cm, GH = 24 cm, HE = 5 cm, h = 3 cm What is the length of the median of the trapezoid?


46.5 cm
14.5 cm
15.5 cm
22.5 cm

Answer 1

From the description we can see that Lines EF and GH are the bases.
The median = the sum of the bases divided by 2.
median = (7 + 24) / 2 = 31/2 = 15.5 cm
