For trapezoid JKLM, A and B are midpoints of the legs. Find AB.
Question 16 options:
A) 29
B) 20
C) 59
D) 58
Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the median of a trapezoid equals one-half the sum of the lengths of the bases.
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}AB & = & \frac{1}{2}(JK + LM)\\\\& = & \frac{1}{2}(19 + 39)\\\\& = & \frac{1}{2}\times 58\\\\& = & \mathbf{29}\\\end{array}[/tex]
