Draw any finite line. Write C near one end; write D near the other end. You now have a line segment and have named it CD.

Median of a trapezoid is a line segment found on the midpoint of the legs of a trapezoid. It is also known as mid-line or mid-segment. Its basic formula is AB + CD divided by 2.

Ab and Ba are the same line because there are no endpoints to a line. Therefore, you can reverse the order of the letters. So, Cd and Dc are not the same ray because the first letter is the endpoint. So on ray Cd, point C is the endpoint and d is a point on the line coming from the endpoint. On ray Dc, D is the endpoint.
