The image shows a table restaurant in the shape of a trapezoid. The restaurant owners want to determine if trapezoidal tables will fit comfortably into the rest of the dining room. The owners make a scale drawing of the table. If the greatest length of the table is represented in the scale drawing by 1.5 feet, what will the length of the other sides of the table be? Write your answer is decimal form.
If the greatest length of the table is represented as 1.5 feet in the scale drawing, the other sides of the table will be:
1.5 * (x/1.5) = x
So, the length of the other sides of the table will be the same as the length of the greatest side, which is 1.5 feet in decimal form. So, the length of the other sides will also be 1.5 feet each.
