A trapezoid has an area of 59.2 square kilometers. One base is 9.8 kilometers long. The height measures 8 kilometers. What is the length of the other base?
+2668 The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:h(a+b)2
In the equation, h is the height, a is base 1, and b is base 2.
8(9.8+x)2=59.2
4(9.8+x)=59.2
14.8=9.8+x
Thus, the base of the other side is 5
