Formula for "Area of a trapezoid" :
____________________________________________
Area = (1/2) * (base length 1 + base length 2) * height;
or: A = (1/2) * (b + B) * h.
We are missing the value for "b" one of the base lengths.
However, since: A = 68² (given) ; B (the other base length) = 21; and the perpendicular height, "h" = 4 ; we can plug this values into the formula, and solve for "b" ;
________________________________________________
A = (1/2) * (b + B) * h ; ↔ 68² = (1/2) * (b + 21) * 4 ;
↔ <span>4624 = 2 (b + 21) = 2b + 42 ;
</span> ↔ <span>4624 = 2b + 42 ;
</span> ↔ <span>2b + 42 = 4624 ;
Subtract "42" from each side of the equation:
2b + 42 - 42 = 4624 - 42 ;
to get: 2b = 4582 ;
</span>___________________________________________________
Now, divide each side of the equation by: "2" ; to isolate "b" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b" ;
___________________________________________________
2b / 2 = 4582 / 2 ;
___________________________________________________
to get: b = 2291 units.

If you were to make your own measurements, your significant digits should include all of the measurable digits (the digits that correspond to the marks on the ruler) as well as one estimated position beyond the smallest measureable digit (the 5 in 3.5 cm, and the 2 in 3.52 cm).
