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.


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


What does midpoint of a segment mean?

If you travel along the length of the segment from one end to the other, whether it is curved or straight, you can measure its length. The midpoint is the spot on the segment at this mid length, equidistant from the endpoints when moving on the segment.


How is the midpoint of a segment different from the length of a segment?

Mostly because, assuming it just one segment, a midpoint by definition (mid- means middle) is the point at the exact middle of a line segment; whereas the length of the segment is the entire length of the segment. Pretty much, a midpoint is a point in the middle of the line, the length is the measurement of the same line.
