1

Problem

If one of the bases of a trapezoid is equal to 15 units, its height is 26 units, and its area is 356 square units, find the length of the other base.

2

Step

The given value are

b = 15 units and h = 26 units and area = 356 sq.units

3

Formula:

The area of trapezoid is

\$A = 1/2 times (sum of bases) times height\$

4

Hint

The length of other base

15 + b

5

Step

Now substitute the values

\$356 = 1/2 times (15 + b) times 26\$

6

Step

After simplification

\$356 = 13 times (15 + b)\$

7

Step

After simplification

\$ (356) /13 = 15 + b\$

8

Step

After simplification

27.38 = 15 + b

9

Step

After simplification

27.38 -15 = b

10

Step

After simplification

b = 12.38 units

11

Step

The length of the other base is b = 12.38 units
