The length of one base of a trapezoid is 19 inches and the length of the midsegment is 16 inches. find the length of the other base.

The Length of other side of Trapezoid is 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of the one base of trapezoid = L = 19 inches

The length of the mid segment = M = 16 inches

Let The length of other side = L' inches

Now, From trapezoid formula

The length of mid segment = × ( sum of opposite sides )

So, M =   × ( L + L' )

or, 16 inches = × ( 19 inches + L' )

Or, 16 inches × 2 = 19 inches + L'

Or, 32 inches = 19 inches + L'

∴ L' = 32 inches - 19 inches

I.e L' = 13 inches

So, measure of other side = L' = 13 inches

Hence, The Length of other side of Trapezoid is 13 inches Answer

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
