Kindly find required figure in the picture attached below :

Answer:

14 feets

Explanation:

From Trapezoid ABCD ;

The longer base, AD = 7 feets

Shorter Base ; BC = 5 feets

The Trapezoid GHIJ

Shorter Base = HI

Longer base = GJ

Given that the scale factor between ABCD and GHIJ is 2 ; then

GJ is similar to AD

Hence, side GJ = 2 * length of AD

GJ = 2 * 7 = 14 feets

If the scale factor between trapezoid ABCD and trapezoid is GHIJ is 2, how many feet-example-1
