Question

If X=3

Calculate the perimeter of the trapezoid

XXX101010X+1X+1X+16+X6+X6+XAAABBBCCCDDD

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To calculate the perimeter, we add up all the sides:

10+x+(6+x)+(x+1) 10+x+(6+x)+(x+1)

Now, given that x equals 3, we substitute in the appropriate places:

10+3+(6+3)+(3+1)= 10+3+(6+3)+(3+1)=

10+3+9+4= 10+3+9+4=

13+13=26 13+13=26

Answer

26
