Question

If 8 J equals 14 + l k equals 42 find TS

Answer 1

For trapezoid HJKL, TS are the midpoints of the legs

This means that the length of TS is the average of the lengths of HJ and LK

We need to calculate TS, given HJ=14 and LK=42

The mean or average value is calculated as:

`TS=(HJ+LK)/(2)`

Substituting the values:

`TS=(14+42)/(2)=(56)/(2)=28`

The length of TS is 42 units
