Is the area of a trapezoid equal to the products of the height and the length of the midsegment?

Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height


Is the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid equal to the sum of the lengths of the bases?

No, the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases. The sum of the lengths of the bases would typically yield a longer length than the midsegment.


How do you find the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid?

You must first know the lengths of the top and bottom of the trapezoid. At this point, you must average those lengths and that is your midsegment length.

What is the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid with bases of 7 and 15?

It is (7 + 15)/2 = 11 units of length.


How do you find the area and perimeter of a trapezoid?

you just take the length of it's midsegment and multiply it by its height to find area. to find it's perimeter, just add the measures of it's sides


Is the midsegment in a trapezoid equal in length to the average of two bases?

Yes. The midsection is equal to the average of the two bases.


If a trapezoid has a base measure of 90 and a midsegment length of 85 what is the measure of the other base?

The Trapezoid midsegment conjecture- the midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and is equal to the length to the average of the lengths of the bases. This is Some what Algebra....... what you do is take your length 90 and midsegment 85 into a prob like this (90+X)/2=85 times by two on both sides to cancel out the two. after that you end up with 90+X=85 next you have to "isolate" the X by subtracting 90 from both sides you would get 90+X=85 -90 -90 to get X= -5 the other side would be -5 so it doesnt work to check it plug the number back into the equation (90+-5)/2=85


What is the formula for the height of the trapezoid?

Length times width
