Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are p and q respectively. The line joining the midpoint of non parallel sides will be ?
1. √pq
2. 2pq/p+q
3. (p+q)/2
4. (p-q)/2

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : (p+q)/2

Given:

The parallel lines of trapezium p and q are given.

Calculation:

Here ABCD is trapezium

so, EF = 1/2 × (AB+CD)

⇒ EF = 1/2 × (p+q)
