Question

A stop sign is shown. Each side measures 12.4 inches and the distance from any side to the opposite is 30 inches. Divide the stop sign into one rectangle and two trapezoids what are the dimensions of the rectangle and each of the trapezoids

Answer 1

A stop sign has a total of 8 sides measuring 12.4 inches on each side and 30 inches for the distance of each sides.

 

Given the measurement, the rectangle's dimensions are as follows:

If divided horizontally: Length = 12.4 inches, width = 30 inches

If divided vertically: Length = 30 inches, width = 12.4 inches

 

From the divided rectangle, we can produce a 3-side equal trapezoid. In this case, we will have a uniform measurement of 12.4 inches on each side and 30 inches for the longer side.
