    b1 = 22 ft

    the length of the base next to the goal is 22 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    From the given formula;

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

    Given;

    Area A = 275ft^2

    base b2 = 28 ft

    base b1 = ?

    height h = 11 ft

    From equation 1;

    Making b1 rhe subject of formula;

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

    Multiply through by 2;

    2A = (b1+b2) h

    b1+b2 = 2A/h

    b1 = 2A/h - b2 ... 2

    Substituting the given values into equation 2;

    b1 = 2 (275) / 11 - 28

    b1 = 50 - 28

    b1 = 22 ft

    the length of the base next to the goal is 22 ft
