\n" ); document.write( "find the perimeter of a trapezoid with 3 ft. in height and 7 ft. and 8 ft. in both \"highlight%28lateral%29\" sides. The area is 10 ft
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "My dear, the area can not be 10 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "The area is measured in square units.
\n" ); document.write( "So, I will assume that the area is 10 \"ft%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  Having the area and the height, you can find the half of the sum of the bases.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    If the bases are \"a\" and \"b\", then \"%28a%2Bb%29%2F2\" = \"area%2Fheight\" = \"10%2F3\" ft.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  Having the half of the sum of the bases, you can find the sum itself:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    a + b = \"%282%2A10%29%2F3%29\" = \"20%2F3\" ft.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "3.  Finally, you will find the perimeter by adding the lateral side lengths 7 and 8 ft to \"20%2F3\" ft.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. The perimeter is 7+8+\"20%2F3\" ft.\r\n" );
