If the scale factor between trapezoid ABCD and trapezoid is GHIJ is 2, how many feet will side GJ be?
1 answer:
Kindly find required figure in the picture attached below :
Answer:
14 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
From Trapezoid ABCD ;
The longer base, AD = 7 feets
Shorter Base ; BC = 5 feets
The Trapezoid GHIJ
Shorter Base = HI
Longer base = GJ
Given that the scale factor between ABCD and GHIJ is 2 ; then
GJ is similar to AD
Hence, side GJ = 2 * length of AD
GJ = 2 * 7 = 14 feets

To solve for x, we have to remember to isolate the variable.
For 1/2, we can make that 0.5, since their values are equivalent. Our equation:
Let's distribute the 0.5 first.
Now, let's simplify the right side of the equation. We have to distribute the negative to 3x and 1.
Then, we simplify the entire expression.
Our equation now:
Let's add 3x to the right and 3x to the left to simplify the -3x on the right side of the equation.
Let's do the same thing we did in Step 3 to 1.5. Subtract 1.5 on both sides of the equation.
Finally, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.
