To Calculate: Area of the trapezoid.
Answer to Problem 13PSB
The area of the trapezoid is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The consecutive sides of an isosceles trapezoid are in the ratio
The perimeter of trapezoid is
Formula used:
Here, we are using the formula
Area of trapezoid =
(here, “ a ” is upper base, “ b ” is lower base and “h” is height)
Calculation:
Here, let x be side of an isosceles trapezoid.
Perimeter of trapezoid =
Now, sides of trapezoid are:
Now, In
Now, Area of trapezoid =
(here, “ a ” is upper base, “ b ” is lower base and “h” is height)
→
→
Conclusion: Hence,the area of the trapezoid is
