    The area of the trapezoid is given by:

    A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * (h)

    Where,

    b1, b2: bases of the trapezoid

    h: height

    Substituting values we have:

    91 = (1/2) * ((2 * 7) + b2) * (7)

    Rewriting we have:

    91 = (1/2) * (14 + b2) * (7)

    (2/7) * 91 = 14 + b2

    b2 = (2/7) * 91 - 14

    b2 = 12 m

    Answer:

    The measure of the other base of the trapezoid is:

    b2 = 12 m
