The answer is 14 centimeters.

The midsegment of a trapezoid has length equal to the average of the two base lengths. Since the base lengths of this trapezoid are 11 and 17 centimeters, our midsegment has length (11+17)/2 = 14 centimeters.

Solution :

Given that , the base lengths of a trapezoid are 11 cm and 17 cm.

The base of a trapezoid means the two parallel sides of the trapezoid.

A trapezoid midsegment connects the mid point of the congruent sides of the trapezoid and is parallel to the base .

The length of the midsegment is the sum of the length of two bases divided by two.

length of trapezoid midsegment = $\frac{Sum\:of\:bases}{2}=\frac{17+11}{2}=14$

Hence, The length of midsegment of trapezoid is 14.

Which equation is in slope intercept form and represents a line with the slope three through the point (9,-4)

beks73 [17]

Answer:

y = 3x - 31

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = 3, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (9, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = 27 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 27 = - 31

y = 3x - 31 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 1/2x - 8 and passes through the point (4, 10).

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

y=1/2x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes will be the same but the y-intercept will be different. I graphed out which equation will pass through (4,10) and also be parallel to y=1/2x-8.

N is an integer and - 2<n+3<4, write down the possible values of n from smallest to largest

Korolek [52]

Answer:

- 4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2 < n + 3 < 4 ( subtract 3 from each interval )

- 5 < n < 1

This indicates that n ≠ - 5, 1 but all values in between, that is

n = - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1, 0 ← possible values of n

What is the area of this triangle? A=bh2 17 m² 30 m² 60 m² 120 m² Right triangle with height labeled 12 m, base labeled 5 m, and

vichka [17]

Answer:

30 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the area of this triangle? A=bh/2 17 m² 30 m² 60 m² 120 m² Right triangle with height labeled 12 m, base labeled 5 m, and third side labeled 13 m.

Area of a triangle = bh/2

b = Base = 5m

h = Height = 12m

Area of the triangle = 5m × 12m/2

= 60m²/2

= 30 m²
