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 = (Base₁ + Base₂) / 2     

 

     Median = (12 + (12+16) ) / 2  =  40 / 2    

 

     Median = 20    

 

     The area of the trapezoid is irrelevant to this problem.
