The correct answer for this question is "22 inches." 

The formula of finding the area of a trapezoid is:
A = (b1 + b2) / 2 * h

Given the area of 166.5 in^2, height of 9 in, b1 of 15
So,
166.5 = (15 + b2) / 2 * 9
333 = 9 (15 + b2)
37 = 15 + b2
b2 = 22

So the length of the other base is 22 inches.

Answer: 22 in.
