Question

An isosceles trapezoid has a perimeter of 37 metres. Its shorter base measures 1 metre and

its longer base measures 10 metres. The two remaining sides have the same length; what is
that length?

Answer 1

The length is 13

Explanation:

37 = 1 + 10 + 2(length)

37 = 11 +2(length)

37(-11) + 2(length)

26 = 2(length)

26 /2 = length

13 = l3 length
