Midsegment of Trapezoids

Midsegments
[size=150][size=200]The [b]midsegment [/b]connects the midpoints of the legs of a trapezoid. [/size][/size]
Make a conjecture about the slopes of the bases and the midsegment of a trapezoid.
What do you notice about the slope of the bases and the slope of the midsegment? Move the vertices of the trapezoid to verify your conjecture.
Make a conjecture about the length of the midsegment.
What do you notice about the relationship between the [u]sum[/u] of the bases (CD + AB) and the length of the midsegment? Move the vertices of the trapezoid to verify your conjecture.
