1.

In any trapezoid, the length of the midsegment is
(|base_1|+|base_2|)/(2)

substituting the known values:


(24+|base_2|)/(2)=19


24+|base_2|=38


|base_2|=38-24=14

2.

Notice that since D and have the same y-coordinate, then DE is horizontal, and since F and D have the same x-coordinate, FD is vertical.

Thus FD and DE are perpendicular, so the triangle FED is a right triangle.

The median drawn from the right angle, is equal to half the hypotenuse.

That is, |DO|=1/2 |FE|, thus |OE|=|OF|=|OD|, are all radii of the circle centered at O.

O is the midpoint of EF, and is found by the Midpoint formula:


O=( (1+7)/(2) , (5+1)/(2) )=(4, 3)


Answer:

1. 14

2. (4, 3)
