Does anyone know how to find the length of the two bases of a trapezoid when given the median and the height? The median is 32 and the height is 16. Please help!

I think you need more information for the solution to be forthcoming. You either need the area, something about whether his is an isosceles trapezoid, or perhaps some information about the perimeter.
For instance, if the smaller base is a and the larger b, knowing the median tells us that
(a+b)/2 is 32. We therefore know that the sum, a+b=64, if we some other information about haw a and b relate, we could find the individual lengths.

Rob abd doug are both right according to me too.
Cmon, u can have a right triangle too with height 16 and median 32, base being 64 or a reactangle with bases 32 and median 32 too, height is of course 16. All you can say is the sum of the sides is 64 p.e.r.i.o.d.

in actuality, the only element that i will discover in straight forward with sacred geometry and alchemy is they the two take care of sorts of spirituality. Sacred geometry deals with using geometric types and shapes interior the layout and shape of church homes, temples, mosques or everywhere of non secular accumulating. those particular shapes advise specific issues, staring on the religion or perception device. for occasion, the pentagram in Christianity refers back to the 5 senses. In Catholicism, it could each and every so often consult with the devil, or the Evil One. Alchemy deals with the technique of turning metals into gold, employing chemical compounds and technological know-how. in spite of if, Alchemy is likewise a perception in looking the marvelous information by using chemistry. subsequently, alchemy is a spirituality all its own. All in all, the only element that i will see in straight forward between the two is they the two take care of a sort, or varieties, of spirituality.
