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.

Answer:

$E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}$

$E(y)=\frac{14}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=9

Number of Green $g=4$

Number of yellow $y=4$

Number of white $w=4$

Probability of Green Followed by yellow P(GY) ball

$P(GY)=\frac{4}{9}*\frac{3}{9}$

$P(GY)=\frac{4}{27}$

Generally the equations for when n is even is mathematically given by

$Probability of success P(S)=\frac{4}{27}$

$Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{27-4}{27}$

$Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{23}{27}$

Therefore

$E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*P$

$E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*\frac{4}{27}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{2n}{27}$

Generally the equations for when n is odd is mathematically given by

$\frac{n-1}{2}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{n-1}{2}*\frac{4}{27}$

$E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}$

Probability of drawing white ball

$P(w)=\frac{2}{9}$

Therefore

$E(w)=\frac{1}{p}$

$E(w)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{9}}$

$E(w)=\frac{9}{2}$

Therefore

$E(y)=[E(w)-1]\frac{4}{9}$

$E(y)=[\frac{9}{2}-1]\frac{4}{9}$

$E(y)=\frac{14}{9}$

Answer:

WX < YW < XY

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Angle sum property</h2>

Sum of all angles of triangle = 180

114 + 53 + ∠y = 180

167 + ∠Y = 180

∠Y = 180 - 167

∠Y = 13

The side opposite to smallest angle is shortest.

Angles in ascending order: ∠Y < ∠X < ∠W

Sides in ascending order: WX < YW < XY
