The sides 2

The sides of a trapezoid are in the ratio 2:5:8:5. The trapezoid’s area is 245. Find the height and the perimeter of the trapezoid.

Correct result:

h =  14
o =  70

Solution:

a:b:c:d=2:5:8:5 a=8x b=d=5x c=2x a∣∣c  S=245  h=d2−((a−c)/2)2 h=x⋅ 52−((8−2)/2)2  h=x⋅ 52−((8−2)/2)2 h=x⋅ 16 h=4x  S=a+c2h S=8x+2x2h S=8x+2x2⋅ 4x S=5x⋅ 4x x=S/20=245/20=72=3.5  h=4⋅ x=4⋅ 3.5=14
