Normally in formulas they are referred to b1 and b2, occasionally you may use b for the smaller base and B for the larger base
The bases on a trapezoid are the two lines that are parallel to each other. .............................. ....____base____...... .../ ...................\..... ../ .....................\.... ./_____base_____\... .............................
Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.
The parallel sides of a trapezoid are the two bases
A trapezoid
To find the average of the two bases of a trapezoid, add the lengths of the two bases together and then divide by two. If you provide the lengths of the bases, I can help you calculate the average.

No, a trapezoid cannot have 3 bases. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases of the trapezoid. Therefore, there can only be 2 bases.
The two parallel sides are called the bases, and the two non-parallel sides are the legs. If you call any other pair of sides the bases, the formula for the area of the trapezoid will no longer work.

No it has two bases which are parallel.
If a segment is parallel to the bases of a trapezoid, it is indeed the median of the trapezoid. The median connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides and is equidistant from both bases. Additionally, the length of the median is the average of the lengths of the two bases. Thus, it effectively bisects the trapezoid into two smaller trapezoids.
