Answer:
19cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid [tex]=\dfrac12(a+b)h[/tex] (where a and b are the parallel sides).
Given:
Area = 189 Square cm
Height, h=14cm
a=8cm
We want to find the value of the other parallel side, b.
Substitution of the given values gives:
[tex]189=\dfrac12(8+b)14\\189=7(8+b)\\$Divide both sides by 7\\8+b=27\\Subtract 8 from both sides\\b+8-8=27-8\\b=19cm[/tex]
The length of the second parallel side is 19cm.
