6FT 3FT 3FT 3FTThe 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.
(1 point)
The greatest length of the trapezoid table is 6 feet, which is represented in the scale drawing by 1.5 feet.
So, we can set up the proportion:
6 feet = 1.5 feet
3 feet = x
Solving for x:
x = 3 feet
Therefore, the other two sides of the trapezoid table will be 3 feet each, which is 0.75 feet in the scale drawing.
