Answer :
Given:
The bases of trapezoid measuring 4 m and 12 m.
To find:
The median of the trapezoid.
Solution:
The median of the trapezoid is the average of its bases.
[tex]\text{Median}=\dfrac{\text{Upper base + Lower base}}{2}[/tex]
The bases of trapezoid measuring 4 m and 12 m. So, the median of the trapezoid is:
[tex]\text{Median}=\dfrac{4+12}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Median}=\dfrac{16}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Median}=8[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is C.
