Answer:
Trapezoid 1 (left side):
Base 1 = 2
Base 2 = 5
Trapezoid 2 (right side):
Base 1 = 6
Base 2 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st trapezoid:</u>
b_1 = x
b_2 = x + 3
h = 4
Hence, area (from formula) would be:
<u>2nd trapezoid:</u>
b_1 = 3x
b_2 = 4x
h = 2
Putting into formula, we get:
Let's equate both equations for area and find x first:
We can plug in 2 into x and find length of each base of each trapezoid.
Trapezoid 1 (left side):
Base 1 = x = 2
Base 2 = x + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5
Trapezoid 2 (right side):
Base 1 = 3x = 3(2) = 6
Base 2 = 4x = 4(2) = 8
Answer:
≈ 39.7ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem:
(a and b are the two shorter legs and c is the largest leg, which is also the opposite side of the right angle)
First, the value of a and c is given. So, we can go ahead and plug those value in and then solve for b.
To find b, we have to get it by itself. So we subtract 2025 from both sides then square root both sides. Resulting in:
≈ 39.7ft
