Is The length of the mid segment of a trapezoid is equal to the sum of the lengths of the bases.?

No, it is not.


How do you find the mid segment of a trapezoid?

Look for the two sides which are parallel. You will find the mid segment halfway between the two sides.


What is the length of the mid segment of a trapezoid with bases of lengths 15 and 23?

It will be 19 units.


The length of the mid-segment of a trapezoid is equal to the sum of the lengths of the bases. true or false?

False.


The mid segment of a trapezoid is the segment hat connects the midpoint of the legs. True or false?

True. The midsegment of a trapezoid is indeed the segment that connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides (legs) of the trapezoid. This segment is parallel to the bases and its length is the average of the lengths of the two bases.


What is the formula to find the mid segment of a trapezoid?

(base1 + base2)/2 = midsegment


The segment whose endpoints are the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid?

Mid line segment.


True or false the area of a trapezoid is equal to the product of the height and the length of the mid-segment?

False because the area of a trapezoid is: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height


What is the part of a trapezoid that the segment joins the midpoints of the nonparallel opposite sides?

mid-segment


What is the midsegment formula?

Median of a trapezoid is a line segment found on the midpoint of the legs of a trapezoid. It is also known as mid-line or mid-segment. Its basic formula is AB + CD divided by 2.


What relationship does the mid segment have to the base of a triangle?

A trapezoid midsegment is parallel to the set of parallel lines in a trapezoid and is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases


How do you find a mid point of a trapezoid?

To find the midpoint of a trapezoid, first identify the two parallel bases. Measure the lengths of both bases and calculate their midpoints by averaging the coordinates of their endpoints. The midpoint of the trapezoid can then be determined by drawing a line segment connecting these two midpoints, which will be parallel to the bases and represent the trapezoid's midsegment. This midsegment can also be used to find the height or other geometric properties of the trapezoid.
