Answer:
12 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
A = 
h(b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
Given h = 6, b₁ = 8 and A = 60 , then
× 6 × (8 + b₂ ) = 60 , that is
3(8 + b₂ ) = 60 ( divide both sides by 3 )
8 + b₂ = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
b₂ = 12
The length of the second base is 12 inches
Well, this is a guess. Jim goes before john, but after joe. So Jim is second. John is third, so that leaved Joe.
Joe, Jim, John. But I don't know about the other 2.

Answer:
11.46 I believe
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: B. 781.6 feet approximately</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
The horizontal portion is 400+166 = 566 feet. Label this as 'a', so a = 566. The vertical side is unknown, so b = x. The hypotenuse is c = 965
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2
566^2+x^2 = 965^2
x^2 = 965^2 - 566^2
x = sqrt( 965^2 - 566^2 )
x = 781.58108984289 which is approximate
x = 781.6 feet when rounding to one decimal place
