LM is the midsegment of trapezoid ABCD. If AB = 46 and DC = 125, what is LM?
is it 85.5?
That is what I get
ok. thanks!!! :D
To find the length of LM, we can use the property of midsegments in a trapezoid. The midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and its length is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases.
In this case, we have AB = 46 and DC = 125.
To find the length of LM, we calculate the average of the lengths of the bases:
LM = (AB + DC) / 2
Substituting the values, we get:
LM = (46 + 125) / 2
= 171 / 2
= 85.5
Therefore, the length of LM is 85.5 units.
Mid segment=1/2 the sum of the bases
LM=(1/2)(46+125)
