The diagonal measures 20.68 ft; the shorter base is 17.21 ft. To understand this, we recognize that with base angles summing to 140°, each angle is 70°, given the isosceles trapezoid's properties. We can apply the Law of Cosines to find the diagonal's length, denoted as d. The length of the diagonal determines to be d = 20.68 ft. Determining the shorter base is somewhat more complex. By drawing an altitude from the upper vertices to the base, which measures 22 ft, we create two similar smaller right triangles requiring us to find the height and base measures related to each of the 70-degree angles and the hypotenuse of 7. By working through the calculations for height and base from one triangle, we subsequently find that 22 minus twice the base measure gets us to the shorter base's measure, arriving at x = 17.21 ft.

Here is the solution to the entire assessment: https://school.ckseattle.org/documents/2019/2/8_2_The_Pythagorean_Theorem_and_Its_Converse.pdf
Step-by-step explanation:
A normal distribution is most effective when dealing with a substantial sample size. Without knowing how many containers there are, it's challenging to determine if it’s suitable for modeling the container weights.
To express (13/15) / (7/10) in its simplest form, follow these steps:
(13/15) / (7/10) = <span>(13/15) * (10/7) = (13 * 2) / (3 * 7) = 26/21 = 1 5/21
</span>
The final answer would be <span>26/21.</span>
