If the area of the triangle is 84 in2, x = 24 in.

Solution:
Area = 1/ 2 x base * height; 84= 1/2 * x * 7; x = 84 x 2/ 7; x = 24.

The trapezoid in the figure has equal nonparallel sides. The upper base is 6, the lower base is 16, and the diagonal is 12. 4.8 is the altitude of the trapezoid.

(c^2)-(a^2)=(b^2)
(12^2)-(11^2)=b^2
b^2=23
b = 4.8
