A=½h(b1+b2)

60=½x6x(b1+12)

60=½x(6b1+72)

60=3b1+36

60-36=3b1

24=3b1

B1=8

The measure of the other base is 8 feet.

What is the area of the trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral having two parallel sides and the other two non-parallel sides. The area of a trapezoid is the number of unit squares that can be fit into it and it is measured in square units.

The area of the trapezoid is calculated by the formula given below:-

A = ( b₁ + b₂ )/2 x h

Here b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the height of the trapezoid.

The other side will be calculated as:-

A=½h(b₁+b₂)

60=½x6x(b₁+12)

60=½x(6b₁+72)

60=3b₁+36

60-36=3b₁

24=3b₁

b₁=8

Hence, the other side is 8 feet.
