Answer:
TP = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the trapezoid can be found from the area formula:
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
h = 2A/(b1 +b2) = 2(100)/(32 +8)
h = 5
The horizontal length of each triangular end of the trapezoid is ...
(32 -8)/2 = 24/2 = 12
so the hypotenuse of the triangular end of the trapezoid is ...
TP = √(12^2 +5^2) = √169
TP = 13
The sides of the trapezoid have length 13 units.
