Question

Find the lengths of the diagonals of this trapezoid. pic and medal :)

Answer 1

drop a perpendicular line down from -b,c or b,c to the x axis and then use Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal length. By dropping a perpendicular line down, you get the base and the height.

Answer 2

thats what i have to do, or thats my answer?

Answer 3

that is the process for finding the answer. try it and post your answer. I can check it.

Answer 4

but there are no numbers, how do i find this?
i am so confused

Answer 5

ok, your height is c. That is the distance from (-b,c) to the x axis. your base is the distance from (-b,c) to (a,0). (b+a).

Answer 6

ohh, ok. i got it now. thanks soo much :)
its actually super easy
