| Let’s change the height of the ВН trapezoid ABCD.
In a right-angled triangle ABН, we determine the size of the DН leg.
Angle ABН = (180 – 90 – 60) = 30, then the length of the leg AH is equal to half the length of the hypotenuse AB.
AH = 2 * √3 / 2 = √3 cm.
Let’s draw the height of the CК. Triangles ABН and CDK are equal in hypotenuse and acute angle, since AB = CD, angle BAK = CDН. Then AH = DK = √3 cm.
The quadrilateral ВСНK is a rectangle, then НC = BC = 2 * √3 cm.
Determine the length of the larger base of the trapezoid.
AD = AH + НK + DK = √3 + 2 * √3 + √3 = 4 * √3 cm.
Answer: The length of the larger base is 4 * √3 cm.
