Name the sides of the following trapezoid:

1- leg 2- base 3- leg 4- base

The __________ of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the legs

The midsegment of a trapezoid connects the midpoints of the legs:

Find the length of the midsegment: 10 20

Midsegment = ½ ( ) = 15

Midpoint Formula: A (x 1, y 1 ) B (x 2, y 2 ) M ( _____, _____ )

x 1 + x 2 y 1 + y 2 2 2, Midpoint = average

Find LN: L ( x 1, y 1 ) N ( x 2, y 2 )

LN = (x 1 – x 2 ) 2 + (y 1 – y 2 ) 2 (Distance Formula)
