Question

problem 10:
(first taught in
lesson 51)
select the figure that shows an altitude, both
diagonals, and the median of
this trapezoid.
a b c d e

Explanation:

• An altitude of a trapezoid is a perpendicular segment between the two bases.
• The diagonals of a trapezoid are the line segments connecting the non - adjacent vertices.
• The median (or mid - segment) of a trapezoid is a segment that connects the midpoints of the non - parallel sides.

Looking at the figure in option B:

• There is a perpendicular segment (altitude) between the two bases.
• The two line segments connecting the non - adjacent vertices (diagonals) are drawn.
• The segment connecting the midpoints of the non - parallel sides (median) is also present.

Answer:

B.
