Question

The figure below is an isosceles trapezoid. Solve for x.

Note: the figure may not be drawn to scale.

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent , then

4x - 1 + 4 = 2x + x + 6 , that is

4x + 3 = 3x + 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = 3
