a ) If we draw a perpendicular to the base from the top right vertex....we have a 30-60-90 right triangle
The distance, D, from the bottom right vertex to the inersection of the perpendicular and the base =
cos 60” = D /2
2(1/2) = 1
So.....by symmetry.....the length of the bottom base = 1 + 2 + 1 = 4
And the perimeter of the trapezoid is bottom base + top base + sides =
4 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10 units
b) The height of the right triangle we created = √3
The area = (1/2)(sum of bases) (height) =
(1/2)(4 + 2)√3 =
(1/2) (6)√3 =
3√3 units^2
