Answer:

b =22

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid:

1/2*(a+b)*h : (a: base, b: base, h: height)

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle:

1/2*a*h (a: base, h: height)

All inputs are given for trapezoid so let's first find the area of trapezoid then we can find the value of b:

1/2*(10+12)*7 = 77 cm^2 is the area of trapezoid

now for the area of triangle:

1/2*b*7 = 77 (it was given that the areas are equal)

first we multiply both sides by 2

7*b = 154 now divide both sides by 7

b = 22
