Question

What is the length of midsegment XY

Answer 1

Answer:

48 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment of a trapezoid is calculated as

$\frac{sumofbases}{2}$, thus

XY = $\frac{34+62}{2}$ = $\frac{96}{2}$ = 48 cm

Answer 2

It’s 48 because if you add 34+62 you get 96 and then you’ll divide it by 2 and get 48(that why it’s called MIDsegment)
