Algebra 12

Thinking about what you know about trapezoids, find the following information:



If you had 50 trapezoids, how many sides would you have? Explain how you know.



Explain a strategy using words, expressions, and/or equations that would help you find the number of sides for any number of trapezoids.

A trapizoid has 4 sides so 4x50=200 sides

If you go 5 trapizoids and 10 it would make a rectangle there for 4 sides.

if you had 50 trapiziods you would have 200 sides because 50 x 4 =200 you have 50 trapiziods and each one has 4 sides

200 sides because 50 trapizoids x 4 trapiziod sides equals 200.

If you have 5 trapizoids it would make a standard rectangle.

If you had 50 trapazoids that would be 200 sides because trapazoids have 4 sides.

a trapazoid --------

has 4 sides and 50 times 4 equals 200

a trapizoied has 4 sids and u have 50 trapizoieds so 50x4=200sides so 200 sides or on 50 tripozied.

it would be 200 because if you take 4 sides on a trapizoid and then times it by 50 you get 200 sides.

you would have 200 sides because there is 4 sides on a trapiziod and 4x50=200.

200 sides because a trapizoid has four side so you multiply 4 by 50 and you get 200

If you had 50 trapezoids you would have 200 sides, because if you multiplpy 50 x 4 ( sides) = 200 sides. For any nomber of trapeziods ou would just multiply it by 4 to get whatever number ou would need.

Anonymous said...

you would use the equation 50(the amount of trapoziods) x 4 (the amount of sides a trapazoid has)= 200 sides

200 sides cause if u take 50 x 4 than you get 200 sides.

200.....I trapizoid has 4 sides and 4x50=200....so......200

trapizoids have only four sides so you take 4*50=200 so it would be (200 sides)!!!!

You would take 50x4 and that would = 200.

200. 4 sides times 50 trapezoids equals 200. 4x50=200

each trapizoid has four sides so you have to take 4x50=200

A trapizoid has 4 sides if you mmultiply it by 50 you will get 200 sides.

If you have 50 trapizoids you would have 200 sides becuase if you multiply 50 by 4=200 because you have 50 trapozoids and each has four sides

you would need to time 4 by 50 to get the answer of 200

Anonymous said...

you would multiply the number of sides time 50, so 50x4=200

200 because 50 x 2 =200 so it would be 50

200 sides. Because 50x4=200. (i figured it out in my head).

you would have 200 sides because a trapizoid has four sides and take that x 5 and you get 200

so the answer is 200 sides

if you had fifty trapizoids you would have 200 sides. i took five times four then added a zero at the end.

Anonymous said...

200, because if you take 5 times 4 it equals 20. so add a 0 to the five and it equals 400.

a trapizoid has 4 sides and 50 times 4 equals 200. So there would be 200 sides.

2oo sides because you take 50 times 4 = 200

You just take the number of trapezoids and times it by that how ever many sides it has.

50 trapizoids would equal 200 sides.
you take 50(the # if trapizoids) x 4(the # of sides) = 200(50x4=200)

200 sides a trapizoid has 4 sides, so you times that by 50 and its 200

Well first if you think about it a trapizoid has four sides and the question asks how many sides would you have if you had fifty trapizoids:


50x4=200 sides

So there is your answer if you had fifty trapizoids you would have a total of 200 trapizoid sides.

You would have 200 sides because if you times 4x50=200 sides so thats how many sides you would have if you had 50 trapizoids.

Have a good weekend Miss.Thompson and luv the bridge idea. See yo Monday.

you have 250 sides because 4 times 50=250. So there for you would have 250 sides.
