<u>Given:</u>
An isosceles trapezoid has a perimeter of 37 centimeters. Its shorter base measures 3 centimeters and its longer base measures 4 centimeters. The two remaining sides have the same length.
We need to determine the lengths.
<u>Length of the remaining sides:</u>
Let the length of the sides of the isosceles trapezoid be x.
Let a be the length of the shorter base.
Let b be the length of the longer base.
Thus, we have;
The formula to determine the length of the sides is given by
Substituting the values, we get;
Thus, the length of the sides of the isosceles trapezoid is 15 centimeters.
