Expert Solution
Step 1
Trapezoid Midsegment Theorem states that a line segment connecting the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and equal to half their sum. In the given figure, line VY is connected to midpoints of the legs UW and TX, so length of VY will be equal to half of sum of WX and TU.
