@Ayana123 do you know the formula for finding the perimeter of trapezoid?
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
if you don't know, i will show you what is the formula:
\[\huge perimeter~of~trapezoid=a+b+c+d\]
where a, b ,c and are all sides of trapezoid
OpenStudy (anonymous):
p= a+b+c+d right ?
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
correct

now sum up all the sides of trapezoid. @Ayana123
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
the answer will have x in it, you are not solving for x
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
\[\huge \frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{2x}{4}\]
can you solve it?? @Ayana123
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you should graph this trapezoid
so you ll get the functions and you ll be able to solve for x
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
you can have infinite trapezoids that match this criteria, and thus cant solve for x.

Just add up all the sides... lol.\[\large \frac{x+x+x+2x}{4}\]

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
right, but someone suggested solving for x, by graphing. I am trying to show that is impossible.
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
LMAO dan -_-
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
@LilySwan you see what I'm saying?
