Question

The perimeter of the trapezoid-shaped window frame is 23.59 feet. Write and solve an equation to find the unknown side length x (in
feet).

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.62 + 3.65 + 5.62 + x = 23.59$

$x = 8.7 ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the trapezoid-shaped window = sum of all the sides of the window frame

Thus, the equation to find the unknown side length, x, would be:

✔️$5.62 + 3.65 + 5.62 + x = 23.59$

Solve for x

$14.89 + x = 23.59$

Subtract 14.89 from each side

$14.89 + x - 14.89 = 23.59 - 14.89$

✔️$x = 8.7 ft$
