Isosceles trapezoid JKLM has legs Jk and LM and bases KL and JM. Jk=8X+5 KL=4X+1 LM=10x+4 and MJ=18X+3, area of JKLM?

Answer 1

since the figure is isosceles, JK=LM, so

8x+5 = 10x+4

Find x, then you know all the sides. Then, the area is

(b+B)/2 h = (JM+KL)/2 * h

where JK^2 = h^2 + ((KL-JM)/2)^2

Answer 2

In trapezoid JKLM, segment JK = 8 centimeters, segment LM = 16 centimeters, segment JM = 11 centimeters, and segment KL = 8 centimeters.
