I have misplaced my ipad. I have FIND MY and I set up my ipad for this reason when I got it. It is now showing it is offline and there is no location. I assume the battery is dead also. Is there any way that I can see the last known location?

Start here:

Locate a device in Find My on iPad - Apple Support

Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:

If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support

Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support

If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it. 

However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.

After 24hrs, for reasons known only to Apple, the last known location is suppressed from view.

If the your iPad becomes active and obtains a network connection - or the iPad’s bluetooth connection is detected by another Find My enabled device - the last known location will be updated.
