Question

Find the length of the missing measurement

Answer 1

`\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h~~=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases~\hfill }\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=2\\ h=1.6\\ A=2.2 \end{cases}\implies 2.2=\cfrac{1.6(2+b)}{2} \\\\\\ 4.4=1.6(2+b)\implies \cfrac{4.4}{1.6}=2+b\implies 2.75=2+b\implies \boxed{0.75=b}`
