Consider the figure.

02

Step 2. Apply the concept of the length of the median.

The length of the median is the average of the sides of the trapezoid.

03

Step 3. Step description.

Since the length of the median is the average of the sides of the trapezoid thus calculate the length as follows:

median=5+102=152=7.5
