Median of a trapezoid activity
Remember that a trapezoid is a 4 sided flat shape with straight sides that has a pair of opposite sides parallel.
-A trapezoid can also be an isosceles trapezoid when it has equal angles from a parallel side.
Median formula for a trapezoid
Play with the trapezoid below until you find two lengths, one for [i]a[/i] and one for [i]b[/i], that you you like.
Find the median of the trapezoid you made by plugging in your two parallel lengths into the median formula.
m= (a + b)/ 2
