We are given the equation:


V=hH(b_1+b_2)/(6)

a) It's equired to solve the equation for b12.

Multipl both sides of ethe equation by 6 to eliminae denominators:


6V=hH(b_1+b_2)

Divide by hH to isolate the sum of b1 + b2:


b_1+b_2=(6V)/(hH)

Finally, subtract b1:


b_2=(6V)/(hH)-b_1

b) Given the values V = 216, h = 8, H = 9, and b1 = 5, substitute in the equation above:


b_2=\frac{6\cdot216\text{ }cm^3}{8\text{ cm 9 cm}}-5\text{ cm}

Calculating:


\begin{gathered} b_2=\frac{1296\text{ }cm^3}{72\text{ cm}^2}-5\text{ cm} \\ \\ b_2=18\text{ cm}-5\text{ cm=13 cm} \end{gathered}

Answer: b2 = 13 cm
