Question

If the perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is 59.9 meters, and the bases measure 23.2 meters and 17.1 meters, find the length of the legs of the trapezoid

Answer 1

x is the length of each leg
23.2 + 17.1 + 2x = 59.9
2x = 19.6
x = 9.8
EACH leg = 9.8 meters

Answer 2

Answer:

9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

59.9 = 23.2 + 17.1 + 2x

19.6 = 2x

9.8 = x
