Answer:

5 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is

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

We know the height  is 8 and the area is 64.  

Let one of the bases is b and the other is b+6

64 = 1/2 (b+ b+6) *8

Combine like terms

64 = 4 (2b+6)

Divide each side by 4

64/4 = 4/4 *(2b+6)

16 = 2b+6

Subtract 6 from each side

16-6 = 2b+6-6

10 =2b

Divide each side by2

10/2 =2b/2

5=b

The second base is

5+6 =11
