Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Trapezoids

Find the perimeter of the trapezoid.

Note: Figure not drawn to scale.

Possible Answers:

$44\: cm$ $\displaystyle 44\: cm$

$38\: cm$ $\displaystyle 38\: cm$

$52\: cm$ $\displaystyle 52\: cm$

$120\: cm$ $\displaystyle 120\: cm$

Correct answer:

$44\: cm$ $\displaystyle 44\: cm$

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a trapezoid, add the lengths of the sides: $10+7+7+20=44\: cm$ $\displaystyle 10+7+7+20=44\: cm$

Example Question #2 : Trapezoids

Trapezoid

Find the perimeter of the given trapezoid if $l=5, b_{1}=4, b_{2}=6, h=6$ $\displaystyle l=5, b_{1}=4, b_{2}=6, h=6$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter, we must find the sum of the OUTER edges: Trapezoid_labeled

$\displaystyle 5+4+5+6=20$

Notice that the height wasn't included in our calculation.

Example Question #3 : Trapezoids

Trapezoid

Find the perimeter of the given trapezoid if $l=7, h=4, b_{1}=5, b_{2}=8$ $\displaystyle l=7, h=4, b_{1}=5, b_{2}=8$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter of the trapezoid, we must find the sum of the outer edges:

Trapezoid_labeled

$\displaystyle 7+5+7+8=27$

Notice that we didn't use height in our calculation.

Example Question #4 : Trapezoids

Trapezoid

Find the perimeter of the given trapezoid if $l=14, h=12, b_{}1=10, b_{2}=18$ $\displaystyle l=14, h=12, b_{}1=10, b_{2}=18$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter, we need to find the sum of the outer edges:

$\displaystyle l+b_1+l+b_2=P$

$\displaystyle 14+10+14+18=56$

Notice that we didn't use height in our calculation.

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are $\displaystyle 20$ and $\displaystyle 10$, the lengths are $\displaystyle 5$, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 10$

Impossible to calculate.

$\displaystyle 20$

$\displaystyle 30$

$\displaystyle 40$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 40$

Explanation:

The perimeter is solved by adding the two bases together, $\displaystyle 20$ and $\displaystyle 10$, along with both the lengths, $\displaystyle 10$.

Therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 20+10+5+5=40$

Example Question #191 : Geometry

Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are $\displaystyle 30$ and $\displaystyle 20$, the lengths are $\displaystyle 5$, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 40$

Impossible to calculate.

$\displaystyle 60$

$\displaystyle 10$

$\displaystyle 20$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 60$

Explanation:

The perimeter is solved by adding the two bases together, $\displaystyle 30$ and $\displaystyle 20$, along with both lengths, $\displaystyle 10$.

Therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 30+20+5+5=60$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are $\displaystyle 30$ and $\displaystyle 20$, the lengths are $\displaystyle 10$, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 90$

$\displaystyle 70$

$\displaystyle 40$

$\displaystyle 50$

Impossible to calculate.

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 70$

Explanation:

The perimeter is solved by adding the two bases together, $\displaystyle 30$ and $\displaystyle 20$, along with both lengths, $\displaystyle 20$.

Therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 30+20+10+10=70$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are $\displaystyle 30$ and $\displaystyle 10$, the lengths are $\displaystyle 10$, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 40$

120 $\displaystyle 120$

$\displaystyle 60$

Impossible to calculate.

$\displaystyle 70$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 60$

Explanation:

The perimeter is solved by adding the two bases together, $\displaystyle 30$ and $\displaystyle 10$, along with both the lengths, $\displaystyle 20$.

Therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 30+10+10+10=60$

Example Question #9 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are $\displaystyle 60$ and $\displaystyle 20$, the lengths are $\displaystyle 10$, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 60$

$\displaystyle 70$

100 $\displaystyle 100$

$\displaystyle 50$

Impossible to calculate.

Correct answer:

100 $\displaystyle 100$

Explanation:

The perimeter is solved by adding the two bases together, $\displaystyle 60$ and $\displaystyle 20$, along with both the lengths, $\displaystyle 20$.

Therefore the equation becomes,

$\displaystyle 60+20+10+10=100$

Example Question #10 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Trapezoid

Measured in units, the bases of a trapezoid are $\displaystyle 10$ and $\displaystyle 5$, the lengths are $\displaystyle 2$, and the height is unknown. What is the perimeter of the trapezoid in units?

Possible Answers:

Impossible to calculate.

$\displaystyle 19$

$\displaystyle 15$

$\displaystyle 10$

$\displaystyle 20$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 19$

Explanation:
