The perimeter of isosceles trapezoid KLMN is 3√2 + 2√5 units ⇒ 3rd answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The isosceles trapezoid has
- Two parallel sides not equal in length called its bases
- Two non-parallel sides equal in length
The formula of the slope of a line whose endpoints are
and
is
∵ KLMN is an isosceles trapezoid, whose vertices are:
K (-2 , -4) , L (-4 , -2) , M (-2 , -1) , N (-1 , -2)
- Let us find the slopes of its sides to find the parallel sides
∵ 
∵ 
∵ 
∵ 
∴ The slope of KL = the slope of MN
∴ KL // MN ⇒ parallel bases
∴ The slope of LM not equal the slope of KN
∴ LM not parallel to KN
∴ LM = KN
∵ The perimeter of the isosceles trapezoid equal the sum of the
parallel bases and the equal sides
∴ The perimeter = KL + LM + MN + NK
∵ KL = 2√2 units , LM = √5 units , MN = √2 units
∵ LM = KN
∴ KN = √5 units
∴ The perimeter = 2√2 + √5 + √2 + √5
∴ The perimeter = 3√2 + 2√5 units
The perimeter of isosceles trapezoid KLMN is 3√2 + 2√5 units
