Question:

The complete question as seen from other website is stated below:

The height of trapezoid VWXZ is 8(square 3) units. The upper base,VW, measures 10 units. Use the 30°-60°-90° triangle theorem to find the length of YX.

What is the length of the lower base, ZX?

Step-by-step explanation:

VW = 10units

WY = 8√3

XY = ?

ZX = ?

Find attached the diagram obtained from the information (1st image).

To determine XY, we would apply the tangent ratio.

Tan 60 = opposite/adjacent

Tan60 = (8√3)/XY

XY = (8√3)/ Tan60

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle theorem:

Find attached the diagram (2nd image)

Tan 60 = opposite/adjacent

Tan 60 = √3/1

Tan60= √3

XY = (8√3)/ Tan60

XY = (8√3)/√3

XY = 8units

ZX = ZY + XY

VW = ZY = 10units (the breadth of rectangle are equal)

ZX = 10 + 8

ZX = 18 units
