The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula A = (b 1 + b 2)h, where base b 1 is parallel to base b 2 and h is the height. Solve the formula for b 2. Show your work.

y = 2h + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the different lengths of the legs, instead of b1 and b2.

The average length of the trapezoid is

x + y

    2

and so the area is

x + y

* h

    2

We are to solve this formula for y (which you have called b 2).

Multiplying both sides by yields x + y = 2h, and so

y = 2h + x

answer: i believe it’s 245.04

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
