Question

For a trapezoid, the midsegment is one-half of...

a) the opposing leg

b) the square of the largest leg

c) the same as the smallest leg.

d)the sum of the bases

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Mathematically, the mid segment of a trapezoid is exactly the average of the 2 parallel bases

What this means is that to find the length of the trapezoid, we will need to find the average of the two parallel bases

Mathematically, this is same as adding the two bases and dividing the result by 2.

Hence we can say it is exactly one-half the length of the sum of the two parallel bases
