The length of a midsegment of a trapezoid is the of the lengths of the bases?
It is the average of the bases.
Is the length of a midsegment of a trapezoid the average of the lengths of the bases?
Yes
What is the length of the the midsegment of a trapezoid with bases of length 13 and 27?
It is 20 units.
What is the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid with bases of 7 and 15?
It is (7 + 15)/2 = 11 units of length.
What relationship does the mid segment have to the base of a triangle?
A trapezoid midsegment is parallel to the set of parallel lines in a trapezoid and is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases
The length of a midsegment of a trapezoid is the of the lengths of the bases?
It is the average of the bases.
Is the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid equal to the sum of the lengths of the bases?
No, the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases. The sum of the lengths of the bases would typically yield a longer length than the midsegment.
Is the length of a midsegment of a trapezoid the average of the lengths of the bases?
Yes
What is the length of the the midsegment of a trapezoid with bases of length 13 and 27?
It is 20 units.
What is the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid with bases of 7 and 15?
It is (7 + 15)/2 = 11 units of length.
What relationship does the mid segment have to the base of a triangle?
A trapezoid midsegment is parallel to the set of parallel lines in a trapezoid and is equal to the average of the lengths of the bases
If a trapezoid has a base measure of 90 and a midsegment length of 85 what is the measure of the other base?
The Trapezoid midsegment conjecture- the midsegment of a trapezoid is parallel to the bases and is equal to the length to the average of the lengths of the bases. This is Some what Algebra....... what you do is take your length 90 and midsegment 85 into a prob like this (90+X)/2=85 times by two on both sides to cancel out the two. after that you end up with 90+X=85 next you have to "isolate" the X by subtracting 90 from both sides you would get 90+X=85 -90 -90 to get X= -5 the other side would be -5 so it doesnt work to check it plug the number back into the equation (90+-5)/2=85
What is the average of the bases of a trapezoid?
The average of the bases of a trapezoid is the median.
Is the length of the median of a trapezoid is the average of the length of the bases?
If it is the line joining the midpoints of the parallel sides it most certainly is not.
Is it possible for the bases of a trapezoid to be equal?
No its parallel bases can never be equal in length. But if it is in the form of an isosceles trapezoid then its slanted sides are equal in length.
Is an isoscles trapezoid a trapezoid with legs of equal length?
Yes but the parallel bases are of different lengths
How do you find the average of a trapezoid in feet?
The answer depends on what characteristic of how many trapezoids you want to average. The length, perimeter, diagonals, parallel sides (bases), transverse sides, ...
