If the bases of an isosceles trapezoid have lengths of 13 and 26 what is the length of the median

the answer is C . 19.5 units - APEX :D

Answer is 19.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there is a trapezoid.

Its bases are 13 and 26 respectively.

Non parallel sides are congruent

To find the median that is the length of line connecting the midpoints of the non parallel sides

If we draw any one diagonal we see that median is the line connecting the mid point of two triangles with the parallel sides as bases

Hence length of median= 1/2 (base 1+base 2)

(By triangle mid point theorem)

= 1/2 (13+26)

=19.5 units

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
