Properties trapezoid

if you have trapezoid with a midesegment of 19 and a top of 13 what would be the base length?

Answer 1

To find the base length of the trapezoid, we can use the formula for the length of the base of a trapezoid:

Base = 2 * midsegment - top

Given that the midsegment is 19 and the top is 13, we can plug these values into the formula:

Base = 2 * 19 - 13
Base = 38 - 13
Base = 25

Therefore, the base length of the trapezoid would be 25.
