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: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

G is proportional to the square of t. If t=2 and g=64, find g when t=3.5.

choli [55]

$If\ g\ is\ proportional\ to\ the\ t^2\ we\ have\ proportion\\\\
g=64\ \ \ \ ---\ \ \ t^2=2^2=4\\\\\
g=?\ \ \ ----t^2=(3,5)^ 2=12,25\\\\
4g=64*12,25\\\\
4g=784\ \ |:4\\\\g=196\\\\ Answer\ is\ g=196\ for\ t=3,5.$
