Find the perimeter of the trapezoid.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@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

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

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.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

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?
