Answer:

Length of parallel side 2 = 2.91 km

Explanation:

Given figure is a trapezoid

Given:

Area of trapezoid = 16.3 km²

Length of parallel side 1 = 5.9 km

Height of trapezoid = 3.7 km

Find:

Length of parallel side 2

Computation:

Area of trapezoid = [Sum of parallel side/2]Height

Area of trapezoid = [(a+b)/2]h

[(5.9 + b)/2]3.7 = 16.3

Length of parallel side 2 = 2.91 km
