Question

What is the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the mid-segment of the trapezoid = 7

==================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The mid-segment of a trapezoid is the segment that connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides.

As shown in the figure the two non-parallel sides are AB and CD

∴ The mid-segment of the trapezoid = $\frac{BC +AD}{2}$

From the figure: BC = 8  and AD = 6

∴ The mid-segment of the trapezoid = $\frac{8+6}{2} = 7$
