Check the picture below.
now, we know that the slanted legs are congruent, since it's an isosceles trapezoid, we also know that the bases are the parallel sides, so, the "altitude" or distance from those bases are the same length, for each of those triangles in the picture.
now, the bases are parallel, that means the altitude segment is perpendicular to the base, the longest side at the bottom, so, we end up with a right-triangle that has a Hypotenuse and a Leg, equal to the other triangle's.
thus, by the HL theorem for right triangles, both of those triangles are congruent, and if the triangles are congruent, all their sides are also, including the ones on the base.

Answer:
80 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorm can be applied here to solve for the length of the last leg, +
=
, where (a) and (b) are the legs of the triangle and (c) is the hypotenuse. We can rearrange the pythagorean theorm for our purposes like the following:
b = √c^2 - √a^2
= √(82)^2 - √(18)^2
= √6724 - √324
= √6400
= 80 mm
