Consider IJ and GL are the parallel sides of the trapezoid.
Given:
In a trapezoid GIJL, HK is the mid segment, IJ =7 cm and GL=15 cm.
To find:
The length of the mid segment HK.
Solution:
The length of the mid segment of a trapezoid is:
where, are two parallel side or bases of the trapezoid.
HK is the mid segment, and the parallel sides are IJ =7 cm and GL=15 cm. So, the length of the mid segment is:
Therefore, the length of HK is 11 units.
