Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a trapezoid, if the lengths of the two parallel sides are 8 cm and 5 cm, what is the length of the midsegment?
  • Step 1: Identify the lengths of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid. In this case, they are 8 cm and 5 cm.
  • Step 2: Add the lengths of the two parallel sides together. So, 8 cm + 5 cm = 13 cm.
  • Step 3: Divide the sum by 2 to find the average. So, 13 cm / 2 = 6.5 cm.
  • Step 4: The result, 6.5 cm, is the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid.
