The vertices of the trapezoid are J(4m,4n), K(4q,4n), M(4p,0) , and L (0,0). Find the midpoint of the midsegment of the trapezoid

hero (hero):

Hint: Use the Mid-segment theorem for Trapezoids

hero (hero):

It's not as difficult as you think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain further please?

hero (hero):

I could, but it would probably take more effort than I'm willing to give. By the time I fully explain this to you, I could have answered 10 - 15 easy math questions and help up to 10 other students. I'd rather help 10 students than help one student with a question like this. I feel like I've given you enough to get started. Plot your first point at the origin. The rest of the points will be arbitrary. Then apply the Mid-Segment Theorem.

OpenStudy (phi):

this shows the definition of the mid segment http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GP9/LTrapezoid.htm

i would plot each of the 4 points. (roughly), to get an idea of where they are. then look for the 2 parallel sides. can you do that?
