Question

What is the length of the the midsegment of a trapezoid with bases of length 14 and 24​?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$Length \: of \: midsegment \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times sum \: of \: lengths \: of \: bases \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times(14 + 24) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times38 \\ \\ = 19 \: units$

Answer 2

Answer:19

Step-by-step explanation:The midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the two congruent sides of the trapezoid, and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.Therefore , to find the length of the midsegment , all we need do is to add the two bases together and divide by two , that is :

Length of mid segment = $\frac{14+24}{2}$

Length of mid segment = $\frac{38}{2}$

Length of mid segment = 19
