Question

Consider the original trapezoid and the reduction. What is the lenght of side A, in centimeters, on the reduced trapezoid?

Answer 1

it is 2

Explanation:

took a test!!

Answer 2

the length of side A is 2 cm

Explanation:

Hello

you can solve this by using a rule of three

According to the graph, the trapezoid must be proportional ,it means it is possible do the relationships and isolate the data we don't know

if

3 cm ⇒16.5 centimeters

Acm? ⇒11 centimeters

`(3)/(16.5)= (A)/(11)\\ isolating\ A\\A= (3*11)/(16.5) \\A=(33)/(16.5)\\ A=2`

the length of side A is 2 cm

you can use the other length to prove

if

3 cm ⇒13.5 centimeters

Acm? ⇒9 centimeters

`(3)/(13.5)= (A)/(9)\\ isolating\ A\\A= (3*9)/(13.5) \\A=(33)/(16.5)\\ A=2`

I hope it helps,Have a fantastic day.
