As, another base is 19 less than five times the length of this base, so the length of another base
The trapezoid has a height of 18 ft and area of 477 ft²
Formula for Area of trapezoid, , where
= Two bases of trapezoid and
= height of the trapezoid.
Given in the question: and
We have also two bases as: and
So, according to the above formula...
So, length of one base is and another base
That means, the length of the longer base is 41 ft.
