Ef is the median of trapezoid abcd (please explain the answer im so confused lol)

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so...

The Median of a trapezoid is directly in the middle. For some weird mathimatical reason you won't ever need to know unless it's on an exam or you become a math major, its midsegment is the average of the top length and the bottom length.

In other words,

EF = ( BC + AD ) / 2

So for part 1, we can use that equation to find x.

Part 2 is a lot easier now. All we have to do is plug in 11 for x.

Part I: x = 11

Part II:

a is the correct

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
