An isosceles trapezoid has a perimeter of 37 centimeters. Its shorter base measures 3 centimeters and its longer base measures 4 centimeters. The two remaining sides have the same length; what is that length?

Given:

An isosceles trapezoid has a perimeter of 37 centimeters. Its shorter base measures 3 centimeters and its longer base measures 4 centimeters. The two remaining sides have the same length.

We need to determine the lengths.

Length of the remaining sides:

Let the length of the sides of the isosceles trapezoid be x.

Let a be the length of the shorter base.

Let b be the length of the longer base.

Thus, we have;

The formula to determine the length of the sides is given by

Substituting the values, we get;

Thus, the length of the sides of the isosceles trapezoid is 15 centimeters.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
