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.
