Question

Determine the length of the diagonals of the isosceles trapezoid below when KL= h+7 and UE= 4h-25

Answer 1

KL= 17.67 unit

UE = 17.67 unit

Explanation:

Given:

Diagonals

KL= h+7

UE = 4h-25

Find:

Length of diagonals KL and UE

Computation:

We know that in isosceles trapezoid the length of diagonals are equal

So,

KL = UE

h+7 = 4h-25

3h = 32

h = 10.67

So,

KL= h+7

KL= 10.67+7

KL= 17.67 unit

UE = 4h-25

UE = 4(10.67)-25

UE = 17.67 unit
