The smaller base of the trapezoid BC = 27cm Midline MO = 35cm Find the large base AD =?

The middle line of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the bases.

MO = (AD + BC): 2;

AD + BC = 2 * MO (find the unknown dividend);

AD = 2 * MO – BC (we find the unknown term).

AD = 2 * 35 -27;

AD = 70 – 27

AD = 43 cm.

Answer: the larger base of the trapezoid is 43 cm.
