Answer:
[tex]b1=4\ m[/tex]
[tex]b2=20\ m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a trapezoid is
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}[b1+b2]h[/tex]
where
b1 and b2 are the parallel bases
h is the height of trapezoid
we have
[tex]A=120\ m^2[/tex]
[tex]h=10\ m[/tex]
[tex]b1=b2-16[/tex]
substitute the values in the formula and solve for b2
[tex]120=\frac{1}{2}[b2-16+b2]10[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]24=[2b2-16][/tex]
[tex]b2=40/2\\b2=20\ m[/tex]
Find the value of b1
[tex]b1=20-16=4\ m[/tex]
therefore
[tex]b1=4\ m[/tex]
[tex]b2=20\ m[/tex]
