The image shows a table at a 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 dining room and 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 in decimal form.

If the greatest length of the table is represented by 1.5 feet, then we can say that the length of the other sides of the table would be 1 foot. This is because a trapezoid has two parallel sides of different lengths.

So, the length of the other sides of the table would be 1 foot each.
