Question

find the midpoint of each side of the trapezoid Connect the midpoints. What is the most precise classification of the quadrilateral formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

Do it on graph paper. It's easier.

Answer 2

ok ill try that

Answer 3

Or just use the midpoint formula

Answer 4

how do i do that

Answer 5

Well, if you use graph paper, here's what would happen:

Answer 6

When you draw the line segments, they will intersect at the midpoints on the graph paper.

Answer 7

You just plug in the points and divide by 2.

Answer 8

Ugh, latex fail

Answer 9

\[m = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\]

Answer 10

That's the midpoint formula. Plug in the two points of each line segment.

Answer 11

is that what it was asking

Answer 12

Yeah, did you find the points?

Answer 13

no

Answer 14

They only want the horizontal midpoints. Not vertical midpoints.

Answer 15

oh
ok

Answer 16

Yes, that, but you have to use graph paper in order to get the exact points.

Answer 17

sorry it lopsided
