Midsegment of a Trapezoid Calculator

The Midsegment of a Trapezoid is a line segment which joins the midpoint of the two non-parallel sides of a trapezium. It is also called as the median, or the midline. Here is the simple online calculator to find the length of the median of a trapezoid using the lengths of the parallel sides. In a trapezium, if AB and CD are the parallel sides and PQ is the midsegment, then the length of the trapezoid is the half the sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides.

Code to add this calci to your website

Just copy and paste the below code to your webpage where you want to display this calculator.

Formula:

PQ = (AB + CD ) / 2
Where AB, CD - Parallel Side Lengths PQ - Median or Midsegment

The midsegment is parallel to the base of the trapezium and its length is equal to the average of the length of the two bases.
