Answer:

When you solve for the area of a trapezoid, you have this formula:

A = ((a + b)/2) * h

where: a & b are the bases ; h is the height

We just plug in the figures on the formula to get the needed information.

A = 12,052.10 square meters

a = 82.4 meters

b = 108.6 meters

12,052.10 = ((82.4 + 108.6)/2) h

12,052.10 = 191/2 * h

12,052.10 = 95.5 * h

12,052.10 / 95.5 = h

126.2 = height

The height of the parking lot is 126.20 meters.
