The area of a trapezoid is 240 cm2. The height is 20 cm and the length of one of the parallel sides is 6 cm. Find the length of the second parallel side. Round off your answer to two decimal places.
Area of trapezoid, or A = , with:
h being height
being base 1 (one of the bases of the trapezoid)
being base 2 (one of the bases of the trapezoid)
Solve for one of the bases and do a check. You should get cm as the length of the longer base.
