Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

b1 = 13

b2 = ?

h = 6

Area = 120

Formula

Area = (b1 + b2) * h/2         Multiply by 2

2Area = (b1 + b2)*h           Divide by h

2Area/h = b1 + b2              Subtract b1 from both sides

2Area/h - b1 = b2

Solution

2*120 / 6 - 13 = b2

40 - 13 = b2

b2 = 27

It is always handy to solve an equation in the form that finds the unknown on one side. It makes the solution much easier.
