Answer:

p = 19.18

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is illustrated using the attachment and will be solved using cosine formula

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bcCosA

<em>Let the strawberry side be s, the Green beans be b and the pumpkins be p.</em>

<em />

The cosine formula in this case is:

g^2 = s^2 + p^2 - 2spCosG

Where

s = 10

g = 18

The equation becomes

18^2 = 10^2 + p^2 - 2 * 10 * p * Cos\ 68

324 = 100 + p^2 - 20 * p * 0.375

324 = 100 + p^2 - 7.5p

Collect Like Terms

p^2 - 7.5p + 100 - 324 = 0

p^2 - 7.5p - 224 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

p = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Where

a = 1

b = -7.5

c = -224

p = \frac{-(-7.5)\±\sqrt{(-7.5)^2-4*1*-224}}{2*1}

p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{56.25+896}}{2}

p = \frac{7.5\±\sqrt{952.25}}{2}

p = \frac{7.5\± 30.86}{2}

p = \frac{7.5 + 30.86}{2} or p = \frac{7.5 - 30.86}{2}

p = \frac{38.36}{2} or p = \frac{-23.36}{2}

p = 19.18 or p = -11.68

But length can not be negative.

So:

p = 19.18

Consider trapezoid LMNO.
jenyasd209 [6]

The side LO is congruent to the side MN, the diagonal LN is congruent to the diagonal MO, and the angle L is congruent to the angle M in an isosceles trapezoid, denoted by the symbols LMNO.

What are the conditions for an Isosceles Trapezoid?

The conditions listed below demonstrate that any trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid:

  • The length of both legs is the same.
  • 2nd condition: The base angles are of equal proportion.
  • The length of the diagonals is the same.

When these conditions are met by the given trapezoid LMNO, it will be referred to as an isosceles trapezoid. Hence, the following conditions of trapezoid LMNO need to be fulfilled,

LN ≅ MO

LO ≅ MN

∠L ≅ ∠M
