Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 20 cm

Given:

ABCD is a trapezium, AB ∥ DC

M is mid-point of AD

N is mid-point of BC

AB = 14 cm

MN = 17 cm

Formula Used:

MN = 1/2 × (AB + CD)

In a trapezium AB ∥ DC

And M and N are mid-points of AD and BC respectively.

Calculation:

MN = 1/2 × (AB + CD)

⇒ 17 = 1/2 × (14 + CD)

⇒ 34 = 14 + CD

⇒ CD = 34 – 14

⇒ CD = 20 cm

The length of CD is 20 cm.
