\n[The median of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and equal to one-half the sum of the bases.]<\/p>\n
\nWhen proving a figure is a trapezoid, it is necessary to prove that two sides are parallel and two sides are NOT parallel.
\nThe median (also called the mid-segment) of a trapezoid is a segment that connects the midpoint of one leg to the midpoint of the other leg.<\/p>\n
