The area of a trapezoid is
A = (1/2) h (b1 + b2)
where
h is the height
b1 is length of base 1
b2 is the length of base 2
We are given with the area and assuming that the trapezoid is isosceles, the length of base 1 is
b1 = 4 ft
If the height of the trapezoid is 4.5 feet, it ensures that the shed will fit inside the trapezoid patch of land. Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 4.5 feet.
Answer:
a: AB is perpendicular to CD
b: AM is equal in length to BM
True.
The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a^2 and b^2 are the two legs of the triangle (two sides connected by the right angle) and c is the hypotenuse (longest side, opposite the right angle).
To solve using the Pythagorean theorem, plug in sides AC and CB into a and b, then solve for c.
23^2 + 31^2 = c^2
529 + 961 = c^2
c^2 = 1490
c = √1490 = 38.601
