Since ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid, legs AB and CD have the same length.
Therefore, we have the equation:
10y - 16 = 8y - 4
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2y = 12
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
y = 6
Therefore, the value of y is 6.
ABCD is an isosceles trapezoid with legs AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and base BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ , If the length of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ =10y-16, the length of BC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = 4y-6 and the length of CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ =8y-4, find the value of y. Make sure to show ALL of your work in order to receive full credit.
