The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches
Let x = length of base and leg
The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base
P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
2.8 = x
Now, substitute the values:
P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
28 = 28
Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches
Answer: √7 is between 2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The next lower number that is a perfect square is 4, the next higher perfect square is 9. Take the roots of those two numbers to find the integers you are looking for.
The line is often referred to as the "line of best fit", this line is drawn so that more accurate conclusions can be drawn from given data. This has numerous uses across the sciences.
