Example Question #5 : Trapezoids
Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are and
, the lengths are
, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?
Impossible to calculate.
The perimeter is solved by adding the two bases together, and
, along with both the lengths,
.
Therefore the equation becomes,
