What is the length of the midsegment of this trapezoid? Enter your answer in the box. units Trapezoid A B C D on the coordinate plane. The vertices of the trapezoid are A begin ordered pair negative 2 comma 4 end ordered pair, B begin ordered pair 4 comma 3 end ordered pair, C begin ordered pair 4 comma negative 5 end ordered pair, and D begin ordered pair negative 2 comma negative 2 end ordered pair.

Answer 1

Midsegment is 1.7

Explanation:

Answer 2

Midsegment=1.7

Explanation:

Distance formula

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}

d=√(4-(-2)^2+(3-4)^2

simplify and solve

we find d=1

Now side lenght

d=√((-2-(-2))^2+(4-(-2))

d=2.44949

length of midsegment=1/2 x (2.44949+1)

1.724745

simplifies to

1.7
