Perimeter = sum of all the sides
let x = one side
longer side = x + 10
Perimeter = x + x + x + x + 10
62 = 4x + 10
4x = 52
x = 13
Longer side = 23

Area = (10+23)x2/10
         = 6.6

The area of trapezoid is \boxed{216{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}}.

Further explanation:

The formula of area of trapezoid can be expressed as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Area of trapezoid}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \left( {{\text{sum of parallel sides}}} \right) \times {\text{height}}}

Given:

The perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is 62 cm.

The length of the fourth side is 10{\text{ cm}}.

Explanation:

Consider the length of the side of trapezoid as x.

Consider the longer side of the trapezoid as x+10.

Perimeter of trapezoid is 62 cm.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Perimeter}}&= 62{\text{ cm}}\\x + x + x + x + 10 &= 62\\4x + 10 &= 62\\4x &= 62 - 10\\4x&= 52\\x&= \frac{{52}}{4}\\x&= 13\\\end{aligned}

The longer side of the trapezoid is 23{\text{ cm}}.

The semi perimeter of triangle ABE can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}S&= \frac{{a + b + c}}{2}\\&= \frac{{13 + 13 + 10}}{2}\\&= 18\\\end{aligned}

The area of triangle ABE can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Area of }}\Delta ABE &= \sqrt {S \times \left( {S - a} \right) \times \left( {S - b} \right) \times \left( {S - c} \right)}\\&= \sqrt {18 \times \left( {18 - 13} \right)\left( {18 - 13} \right)\left( {18 - 10} \right)}  \\&= \sqrt {18 \times 5 \times 5 \times 8}\\&= 5 \times12\\&= 60\\\end{aligned}

The height of the trapezoid can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Area} &= 60\\\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h&= 60\\10 \timesh&= 120\\h&= 12\\\end{aligned}

The height of the trapezoid is 12 cm.

The area of parallelogram ABED can be obtained as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Area of ABED}}&= b\times h\\& = 13 \times12\\&= 156{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}\\\end{aligned}

The area of trapezoid can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Area of ABCD}}&= {\text{Area of ABED}} + {\text{Area of BCE}} \\{\text{}}&=156 + 60\\&= 216{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}\\\end{aligned}

The area of trapezoid is \boxed{216{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}}.

What is the slope of the line ?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

y = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4, this is where your line intersects with the y axis.

x = 1 is where your line is on the x axis (you want to include the part of the line that hits a point straight on, not one that goes past it.) So when it lands on the corner of the grids like the 4 for the y axis does, that is the point you are going to use.

Rise/Run is then your equation, so since you go down 3 and over 1 (counting from your y axis point), your slope is -3/1 or -3.

Then goes your y axis, so the final equation is

y= -3x + 4

I hope this helped!
