Question

the paralle bases of a trapezoid measure 2 feet and 6 feet. if the legs measure 9 feet and 13 feet, determine the perimeter of the trapezoid

Answer 1

30 feet.

Explanation:

Given: The parllel side of a trapezoid is 2 feet and 6 feet.

Legs of Trapezoid is 9 feet and 13 feet.

Picture attached to show the shape of Trapezoid.

Now, finding the perimeter of Trapezoid.

Formula; Perimeter= a+b+c+d

Perimeter=
`9+2+13+6`

⇒ Perimeter= 30 feet

hence, perimeter of trapezoid is 30 feet.

Answer 2

∴The perimeter of the trapezoid= 30 feet

Explanation:

Given that the parallel bases of a trapezoid measure 2 feet and 6 feet and the legs measured 9 feet and 13 feet.

∴The perimeter of the trapezoid = sum of all sides

= (2+6+9+13) feet

= 30 feet
