In trapezoid 
we have 
parallel to 
, 
as the midpoint of 
, and 
as the midpoint of 
. The area of 
is twice the area of 
. What is 
?
Solution
The length of 
is the arithmetic mean of the two parallel bases. Since the base EF is shared between the two smaller trapezoids, you want AB/DC = \boxed{2}$.
