The return of midsegments

The return of midsegments

A midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the legs (non parallel sides) and is the mean value of the 2 bases

(parallel sides)

(non parallel sides) and is the mean value of the 2 bases (parallel sides)

In addition…

A midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the legs

(non parallel sides) and is the mean value of the 2 bases (parallel sides)

In addition…

Much like triangles, the midsegment is parallel to

the sides it does not touch.

So find its length?

So find its length?OAdd the bases and divide by 2.

Here’s a problem I enjoy.
