The area of a trapezoid is $80$. The length of one base is $16$ units greater than the other base, and one base of the trapezoid is $12$. Find the length of the median of the trapezoid.

Median length will be    ( 12   +     12+16) / 2 = 20 units 

 

 

 

 

As an aside, the height can be found by 

    area = median length * height 

      80 = 20 h 

        h = 4 units
