Given:

The bases of trapezoid measuring 4 m and 12 m.

To find:

The median of the trapezoid.

Solution:

The median of the trapezoid is the average of its bases.


\text{Median}=\frac{\text{Upper base + Lower base}}{2}

The bases of trapezoid measuring 4 m and 12 m. So, the median of the trapezoid is:


\text{Median}=(4+12)/(2)


\text{Median}=(16)/(2)


\text{Median}=8

Therefore, the correct option is C.
