If you know the height and area of a trapezoid can you find the lengths of its bases? \n" ); document.write( "AREA OF A TRAPEZOID=(1/2)(HT)(SUM OF PARALLEL SIDES)...SUPPOSE \n" ); document.write( "AREA=40,HT=8...THEN \n" ); document.write( "40=(1/2)*8*(SUM OF PARALLEL SIDES) \n" ); document.write( "SUM OF PARALLEL SIDES=2*40/8=10.. \n" ); document.write( "SO WE CAN KNOW THE SUM OF THE 2 PARALLL SIDES ,BUT NOT SIZE OF EACH SIDE.THEY COULD BE 1&9..OR..2&8...OR....5&5...ETC... \n" ); document.write( " |
