Question

What is the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid made by the vertices A(0, 5), B(3, 3), C(5, -2) and D(-1, 2). Show equations and all work that leads to your answer.
How would i figure this out?

Answer 1

first u need to form 4 sides so drow it .
so its seems to be that AB is parallel to CD , to make sure do the cros product
AB×CD=0

Answer 2

so take E as the mipoint of AC & F as the midpoint of BD
then midsegment lenght equals to EF .
got it or still confused ??
