Question

The area of a trapezoid is 18.8 m squared. The height measures 4 m and one base measures 5.6 m. What is the length of the other base?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid formula: $\frac{(B1+B2)h}{2} =A$

Area=18.8

Height=4

Base 1=5.6

So((5.6+x)*4)/2=18.8

Multiply both sides with 2

(5.6+x)*4=37.6

Divide both sides with 4

5.6+x=9.4

Subtract 5.6 from both sides

X=3.8

Hope this helps!
