| You are given an isosceles trapezoid ABCD, where BC and AD are the bases, AB and CD are the sides.
BC = 50 cm, AD = 104 cm.
MN = BC = 50.
AM + ND = 104-50 = 54.
AM = ND = 54/2 = 27 cm.
Let’s find the height of the VM as the leg of the triangle ABM:
BM ^ 2 = AB ^ 2-AM ^ 2 = 45 ^ 2-27 ^ 2 = 2025-729 = 1296.
BM = 36.
Next, we find the diagonal of the trapezoid BD as the hypotenuse of the triangle MBD.
MD = 50 + 27 = 77.
BD ^ 2 = BM ^ 2 + MD ^ 2 = 36 ^ 2 + 77 ^ 2 = 1296 + 5929 = 7225.
BD = 85 /
Answer: 85.
