Geometry the value of X

1 answer:

8 0

Since the symbol tells us the angle is 90 degrees we know the 4x and 5x add up to make 90 degrees.
Lets use this to make and form an equation

5x + 4x = 90
9x =90 (collect the x values)
x = 10 (divide both sides 9 to find what x is)

The length of the shorter base in an isosceles trapezoid is 4 in, its altitude is 5 in, and the measure of one of its obtuse ang

I'm not sure what level of math you are at, so I hope it's alright that I used the trig function of tangent. Basically, you just have to find the second base to be able to find the area using the formula for the area of a trapezoid (A = ½h(b₁ + b₂)). To do this, use the information given and a little creativity to create a triangle and find the missing pieces. Finally, plug everything into the equation and voilà. Hope that helps!
