                The formula for the area of a trapezoid is 
A =
h(B + b)

    so 
20=1/2 *h(h+B)
cant be solved without the longer base given.

    Then put 18 in for B, and solve. Note it is quadratic equation, put it in standard form
ax^2 + bx +c=0
and use the quadratic equation
    
ax^2 + bx +c=0
and use the quadratic equation
