Answer:
b1 = 22 ft
the length of the base next to the goal is 22 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given formula;
Area A = 1/2×(b1 + b2)h ........1
Given;
Area A = 275ft^2
base b2 = 28 ft
base b1 = ?
height h = 11 ft
From equation 1;
Making b1 rhe subject of formula;
A = 1/2×(b1 + b2)h
Multiply through by 2;
2A = (b1+b2)h
b1+b2 = 2A/h
b1 = 2A/h - b2 ...... 2
Substituting the given values into equation 2;
b1 = 2(275)/11 - 28
b1 = 50 - 28
b1 = 22 ft
the length of the base next to the goal is 22 ft
