I need to know the sides of the trapezoid in order to find the perimeter
Answer:
4cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The base of the triangle is 4cm. 14-10 = 4cm
Answer:
2x+12=24
first you subtract 12 from both sides
2x+12=24
-12. -12
The 12-12 should cancel itself, the rest of the equation you bring down to get
2x=12 (because 24-12=12)
Now you have 2x=12.
you then divide 2x by both sides.
2x=12
/2x=/2x
The 2x/2x cancels itself out so you then solve for 12/2x.
For this you just divide 12/2 which is 6!
x= 6 is your final answer.
to check this equation you can plug your number back into x to see if it is true! 2(6)+12=24.
6 times 2 is 12 and 12+12 is 24 so your answer (6) is true!
hope this helps! :D
Try this solution (note, this is not the shortest way):
1. if the given length is 'l' and the width is 'w', then according to the condition 4*l=w;
2. according to the condition the perimeter is 30 ft. Formula of the perimeter is P=2(l+w), then 2(l+w)=30;
3. if to substitute '4*l' instead of 'w', the formula of the perimeter (from item no. 2) will be as 2(4*l+l)=30 or 10*l=30 ⇒ l=3 ft. The length is 3 ft.!
4. if l=3 ft., then w=4*3=12 ft. The width is 12 ft.!
5. Area is
A=w*l; A=12*3=<u>36 ft²</u>
