The state of Nevada 340 mi A approximates the shape of a trapezoid with these dimensions 225 mi NEVADA for boundaries: 340 miles on 515 mi the north, 515 miles on the east, 435 miles on the south, and 435 mi 225 miles on the west. If A and B are points located midway across the north and south boundaries, what is the approximate distance from A to B?
