Answer 2

Answer: 48 inches, 14 inches, 21 inches and 14 inches.

Explanation:

1. The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of the lengths of its sides. You know that the perimeter is 97 inches, then, you can write the following expression:

`3.5x-1+x+x+1.5x=97\\7x-1=97`

2. Now, you must solve for x, as following:

`7x=97+1\\7x=98\\x=(98)/(7)\\x=14`

3. Then length of each side is:

`(3.5x-1)in=(3.5(14)-1)in=48in`

`1.5xin=(1.5)(14)in=21in`

`x=14in`
