Answer:
20 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Bases of the trapezoid
- [tex]b_1 = 14\: units [/tex]
- [tex]b_2 = 26\: units [/tex]
To find: Length of midsegment
Solution: Formula for length of midsegment of a trapezoid is given as:
- [tex] Length\: of \:midsegment =\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}[/tex]
- Plugging the values of [tex]b_1 \:and \: b_2 [/tex] in the above formula we find:
- [tex] Length\: of \:midsegment =\frac{14+26}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]\implies Length\: of \:midsegment =\frac{40}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]\implies Length\: of \:midsegment =20\: units[/tex]
