Annette [7]3 years ago

Answer:

<h2>a = 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a trapezoid is:

A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h

b_1,\ b_2 - bases

h - height

We have:

A=128,\ b_1=a+2,\ b_2=a-2,\ h=8

Substitute:

128=\dfrac{a+2+a-2}{2}\cdot8\\\\128=\dfrac{2a}{2}\cdot8

128=8a          <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

16=a\to a=16
