How do you get the length of each side on an isosceles trapezoid?

It depends on what information you do have.


Is the length of the diagonal side half the sum of the bases of an isosceles trapezoid?

No, it is not.


What is the formula can you use to find out the area of a trapezoid?

Area of a trapezoid = (1/2) x (height) x (length of the base + length of the top)


How can you often determine unknown side lengths of a composite figure?

you can see the length of base1(example) and see the length of base2 to find out the answer of lets say the top base of a trapezoid.


How do you find the length of a trapezoid when area and width are given?

A trapezoid is a 4 sided quadrilateral with one pair of opposite parallel lines of different lengths and the formula for its area is:- 0.5*(parallel side+parallel side)*width or height = area To find the length of a parallel side one of its parallel sides must be given as well as its width and area and so:- Parallel side = (2*area)/(width) - known parallel side


How do you find the length of the midsegment of a trapezoid?

You must first know the lengths of the top and bottom of the trapezoid. At this point, you must average those lengths and that is your midsegment length.


How do you Find the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid?

You must first know the lengths of the top and bottom of the trapezoid. At this point, you must average those lengths and that is your midsegment length.


How do you figure the square feet of a rectangle trapezoid?

Find the average of the two sides (Longest length plus shortest length. Divide this addition by 2). Multiply the result by its height (which is the distance between the longest side and the shortest side).


How do you find square feet of a trapezoid?

Find the total length of the parallel sides and divide the result by 2. Next, multiply that number by the height of the trapezoid.


How area of parellogram help find area of trapezoid?

A parallelogram is a degenerate trapezoid: as the longer of the parallel sides of a trapezoid shrinks to the length of the shorter parallel side, the trapezoid becomes a parallelogram. It is truer to say that the area of a trapezoid helps to find the area of a parallelogram: area_trapezoid = mean_average_of_parallel_sides x distance_between_them = 1/2 sum_parallel_side_lengths x distance_between_them When the parallel sides are of equal length this becomes: area = (1/2 x 2 x length_of_parallel_sides) x distance_between_them = length_of_parallel_sides x distance_between_them = area_parallelogram


In an isosceles trapezoid the longest base is 11 a leg is 5 and the height is 4 Find the length of the shorter base of the trapezoid?

ok


What is the formula to find the length of the base indicated for each trapezoid?

Nothing is "indicated".
