    Step-by-step explanation:

    A = (b1 + b2) h/2

    A = 35 cm²

    h = 16 cm

    b1 = 25 cm

    b2 = ?

    35 = (25 + b2) (16) / 2

    70 = (25 + b2) (16)

    70 = 400 + 16b2

    16b2 = 330

    b2 = 330/16 = - 20.625

    The answer is a negative number. Since the base of a trapezium cannot have a negative length, there does not exist a trapezium with the given information.
