You take the arithmetic mean (average) of the parallel sides.
No, it is not.
Look for the two sides which are parallel. You will find the mid segment halfway between the two sides.
It will be 19 units.
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.

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.
(base1 + base2)/2 = midsegment
Mid line segment.
False because the area of a trapezoid is: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
mid-segment
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.
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
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.
