Step-by-step explanation:
The top base has a length that is the difference between the x-coordinates of points A and B:
0 -(-11) = 11
The bottom base has a length that is the difference between the x-coordinates of points C and D:
-1 -(-8) = 7
The mid-segment has a length that is the average of the base lengths:
(11 +7)/2 = 18/2= 9 . . . units; midsegment length
