Question

1. find the perimeter (total length of all four sides) of a trapezoid whose sides measure 2.09 ft, 2.09 ft, 3.72 ft, and 6.60 ft. a 16.12 ft b 14.5 ft c 13.50 ft d 8.56 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula for perimeter

The perimeter \( P \) of a trapezoid (or any polygon) is the sum of all its side lengths. So, if the side lengths are \( a, b, c, d \), then \( P=a + b + c + d \).

Step2: Substitute the given values

The given side lengths are \( 2.09\space\text{ft} \), \( 2.09\space\text{ft} \), \( 3.72\space\text{ft} \), and \( 6.60\space\text{ft} \). Substituting into the formula:
