The area of a trapezoid is 46 square yards. If the height is 4 yards and the length of one of the bases is 16 yards, determine the length of the other base

It will be a whole number.

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.
