Question

PLEASE HELP, URGENT!!! I will give medals and fan!!

Answer 1

Calculate the value of OK.

Answer 2

I think I know how to solve it, but I don't know if they put the 12.75 in there to trick me or if I'm actually supposed to use it in my equation.

Answer 3

just setup a proportion

Answer 4

yes, 12.75 is just there to trick u

Answer 5

Do I use 12.75 to set up a proportion for the two areas, though (which solving would be more difficult in my opinion), or should I simply set up a proportion for 17 and 4 to figure out the length of OK

Answer 6

OK< thnx

Answer 7

So...my proportion should look like this:
17/4 = OK/2

Answer 8

Right?

Answer 9

assuming the trapezoids are similar,
u can setup a proportion of corresponding sides

Answer 10

\(\large \frac{OK}{2} = \frac{17}{4}\)

solve \(OK\)

Answer 12

Or that, yeah you can switch the sides.
