3. A recent tornado in a small town in Southwest New York destroyed and damaged
multiple plots of land. The insurance company has been surveying these plots of land to
write their report on the damage assessment. One plot of land is the shape of an
isosceles trapezoid, and the insurance must determine the area of the land.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the area of the land, we first determine the length of the base.

Since it is a isosceles trapezoid,

Length of the base =(228+2x)ft where x is the base of the triangle.

In the Right Triangle,

Perpendicular Height =209 ft

Hypotenuse =221.38 ft

Using Pythagoras Theorem:

Therefore, the length of the isosceles' trapezoid base

=228+2(72.99)=373.98ft

Area of a trapezoid

a=228ft, b=373.98ft, h=209ft

- 70

this is the answer for you hope it

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
