Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, then

x + 8 = 48 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

8x + 8 = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

8x = 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 5

Then

leg = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

Answer:

Original

l = v/r

first multiply each side by r to get it out of the denominator

rl = v

now divide by l to get r by itself

r = l/v

Step-by-step explanation:

Original

l = v/r

first multiply each side by r to get it out of the denominator

rl = v

now divide by l to get r by itself

r = l/v

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take x degree as reference angle

using tan rule

tan x=opposite/adjacent

tan x=6.1/5.1
