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
