    b1 = 9 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for area of a trapezoid is

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

    We know Area = 135 CM ^2, Height = 10 CM, b2 = 18 cm

    Substituting these in

    135 = 1/2 (b1+18) * 10

    Multiply 1/2*10

    135 = 5 (b1+18)

    Divide both side by 5

    135/5 = 5/5 (b1+18)

    27 = b1+18

    Subtract 18 from each side

    27-18 = b1+18-18

    9 = b1
