this is the problem idk how to set it up

Do you know where the median of the trapezoid is?

hrhsbull · Answer

like this..... its tiny but there

azureilai · Answer

Ok, so to find the middle betwwen two points, you use the equation
$$(\frac{ x_{2}-x_{1} }{ 2 })(\frac{ y_{2}-y_{1} }{ 2 })$$
to get the coordinate.
You want to use the mid point between R and S, and U and T.
Tell me when you get them

kk and thanks for helping

$$x=\frac{ -5 }{ 3 }(8+1)  y= \frac{ -5 }{ 3 }(-1+5)???$$
