A trapezoid has an area of 184 in^2. The height is 8 in and the length of one base is 16 in. Write and solve an equation to find the length of the other base.

The length of other base is 30 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A trapezoid has an area of 184 in^2. The height is 8 in and the length of one base is 16 in.

Now, to get the length of other base.

Let the length of other base be  

Area of trapezoid = 184 in².

Height of trapezoid () = 8 in.

Length of one base (a) = 16 in.

Now, to get the length of other base of trapezoid we solve an equation:

Subtracting both sides by 64 we get:

Dividing both sides by 4 we get:

Therefore, the length of other base is 30 in.
