Question

find the length of the second base of a trapezoid with one base measuring 29ft a height of 9ft and an area of 193.5ft

Answer 1

second base = 14 ft

Explanation:

Area of a trapezoid :

A = 1/2(b1 +b2) h

2A =(b1 +b2) h

b1 +b2 = 2A/h

b2 = 2A/h - b1

Plug in

b2 = 2(193.5)/9 - 29

b2 = 43 - 29

b2 = 14
