Daniel cut the trapezoid and arranged the pieces to form a rectangle. What is the length of the rectangle Daniel formed if it is equal to the averge of the base lengths of the trapezoid?

Daniel cut the trapezoid and arranged the pieces to form a rectangle What is the length of the rectangle Daniel formed if it is equal to the averge of the base class=

Respuesta :

The average of the base length of the trapezoid is given to be

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Average }=\frac{10in+6in}{2} \\ \text{Average }=\frac{16in}{2} \\ \text{Average }=8in \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since the length of the rectangle, Daniel formed is equal to the average of the base lengths of the trapezoid

Hence,

The length of the rectangle = 8 in
