The missing length is 14 unit.

The Trapezoid Midsegment segment theorem states that the length of midsegment of trapezoid is half the sum of the length of its two parallel sides of the trapezoid.

In a trapezoid, Midsegment = 1/2 × ( Sum of two bases of the trapezoid )

Here, The midsegment GH is given by 26.

One of the bases = 42

Let, another base be x

Then we have to use the formula of mid segment to find the another base of the trapezoid

∴ GH = 1/2 × (42+x)

⇒ 26 = 1/2 × (42+x)

⇒ 56 = 42+x

⇒ x = 56-42

⇒ x = 14

So, the missing length = 14 unit
