You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rose' s garden is in the shape of a trapezoid. If the height of the trapezoid is 16m, one base is 20m, and the area is 224mē, find the length of the other base.
---------
Area = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)
224 = (1/2)*16*(b1 + 20)
448/16 = b1 + 20
28 = b1 + 20
b1 = 8 m
