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.

One side of a triangle measures 10 inches. Which could be the measures of the other 2 sides of the triangle?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

B. 4 and 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality rule states: the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

So for the first qualification, we can eliminate A, C, and D. Therefore the answer is B, 4 & 6 in
