Question

Use the proportion to solve for the unknown base measure of the enlarged trapezoid. 1.Set up the proportion:

equation 2.Use cross products:

2(6.5) = 3.25(x) 3.Simplify:

13 = 3.25x 4.Divide both sides by 3.25: The missing base measure of the enlarged trapezoid is cm.

Answer 1

4 CM

Explanation:

Answer 2

4 cm

Explanation:

You have done all of the parts except the final division.

13 = 3.25x

13/3.25 = x = 4 . . . . . divide both sides by 3.25

The missing base measure of the enlarged trapezoid is 4 cm.
