area of trapezoid
= (sum of two parallel sides) x height / 2
80 = (sum of two parallel sides)(8)/ 2
20 = (sum of two parallel sides)
but the median = (sum of two parallel sides)/2
= 10
= (sum of two parallel sides) x height / 2
80 = (sum of two parallel sides)(8)/ 2
20 = (sum of two parallel sides)
but the median = (sum of two parallel sides)/2
= 10
