Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trapezoid's midsegment?
The midsegment, also called the median, is the line segment connecting the midpoints of the two legs. It is always parallel to both bases and sits exactly halfway between them.
How is midsegment length calculated?
It is simply the average of the two base lengths, the shorter base plus the longer base, divided by 2.
Why is the midsegment useful?
The midsegment length also equals the average width of the trapezoid at its midline, which makes it directly useful in the trapezoid area formula, since area equals midsegment length times height.
