1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the length of the midsegment MNMN of a trapezoid ABCDABCD. The lengths of the two bases are given as AB=21AB = 21 and DC=37DC = 37.

2. Solution Steps

The midsegment of a trapezoid is a line segment connecting the midpoints of the non-parallel sides. The length of the midsegment is the average of the lengths of the two bases.
The formula for the length of the midsegment is given by:
MN=AB+DC2MN = \frac{AB + DC}{2}
We are given that AB=21AB = 21 and DC=37DC = 37. Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
MN=21+372MN = \frac{21 + 37}{2}
MN=582MN = \frac{58}{2}
MN=29MN = 29

3. Final Answer

The length of the midsegment MNMN is 29.
