Question

The following quadrilateral is a trapezoid. What is the length of the midsegment KJ?

Answer 1

Trapezoid midsegment propertie:

T is midpoint of SP and U midpoint of QR then:

`x=(a+b)/(2)`

In given question :

`\begin{gathered} a=28 \\ b=24 \end{gathered}`

So KJ is:

`\begin{gathered} KJ=(a+b)/(2) \\ KJ=(28+24)/(2) \\ KJ=(52)/(2) \\ KJ=26 \end{gathered}`
