We are given the
perimeter of isosceles trapezoid = 28 in
ratio of length of bases = 5:3

We are to find the lengths of sides of the trapezoid and the diagonal that bisects the angle at the base with a longer length

The formula for the perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is
P = (1/2) (b1 + b2) h

We are given the ratio
b2/ b1 = 5 /3
b2 = 5/3 b1
Substituting
28 = (1/2) (5/3 b1) h
The height of the trapezoid is expressed in terms of b1
For the diagonal
d² = h² + [(b2 - b1) + (b2 - b1)/2]²
Express h and b2 in terms of b1 and diagonal can be expressed in terms of b1

What is the reciprocal of 6/5? <br> A. 1 <br> B. 1 1/5 <br> C. 12/10 <br> D. 5/6
Sergio039 [100]
The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6

Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.

For example: 2 ÷ 1/5

2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.

1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5

In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/5 ⇒ 5/1

Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10

So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10
