Question

The perimeter of an isosceles trapezoid is 78 ft. The bases of the trapezoid are 30 ft and 14 ft. Find the area of the Trapezoid.

Answer 1

The area of the trapezoid would be 180 ft².

Answer 2

Answer:The perimeter of a trapezoid is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

Let's call the height of the trapezoid "h".

Then, the length of the two sides equal (78 - 30 - 14) / 2 = 22 ft.

The area of the trapezoid is equal to (30 + 14) / 2 * h = 22 * h.

We can now find h using the formula:

h = (2 * area) / (30 + 14) = (2 * area) / 44.

We don't know the area, so we cannot find h.
