Question

The bases of a trapezium are 13 cm and 9 cm .find the length of the median of the trapezium

Answer 1

Answer: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one base = 13 cm

Length of other base = 9 cm

The length of the median of the trapezium=?

We know that the median of a trapezium is the line segment that joins the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides of the trapezium

length is equal to half the sum of the length of the bases

∴ Length of the median is given by,

= ½ × [(length of one base) + (length of other base)]

= ½ × [13 + 9]

= ½ × 22

= 11 cm

Thus, the length of the median if the trapezium is 11 cm.
