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 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.
base: 3ft
length: 3ft
length: 3ft
base: 6ft
To find the length of the other sides of the table in decimal form, we can use the scale factor of 1.5 feet.
If the greatest length of the table is represented by 1.5 feet in the scale drawing, and the actual length of the base is 3 feet, we can calculate the other sides as follows:
base = 3ft * 1.5 = 4.5ft
length = 3ft * 1.5 = 4.5ft
So, the length of the other sides of the table will be 4.5 feet.
