the formula for the area of a trapezoid is A=1/2h(b1+b2) express b1 in terms of A, h and b2 the area of a trapezoid is 60 square feet, itās height is 6ft and one base is 12ft find the number of feet in the other base
A=½h(b1+b2)
60ļ¼Ā½x6x(b1+12)
60ļ¼Ā½x(6b1+72)
60ļ¼3b1+36
60-36ļ¼3b1
24ļ¼3b1
B1=8
The measure of the other base is 8 feet.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral having two parallel sides and the other two non-parallel sides. The area of a trapezoid is the number of unit squares that can be fit into it and it is measured in square units.
The area of the trapezoid is calculated by the formula given below:-
A = ( bā + bā )/2 x h
Here bā and bā are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the height of the trapezoid.
The other side will be calculated as:-
A=½h(bā+bā)
60ļ¼Ā½x6x(bā+12)
60ļ¼Ā½x(6bā+72)
60ļ¼3bā+36
60-36ļ¼3bā
24ļ¼3bā
bā=8
Hence, the other side is 8 feet.
