Question

Find the height of the trapezoid

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The are is given so we can use the area to find the height because the area of a trapezoid is calculated by the following formula:

1/2 * (a+b)*h (a: base, b: base, h: height)

We already know the bases; 37 and 51

1/2*(37+51)*h = 836 first multiply both sides by 2

(37+51)*h = 1672 now divide both sides by 88 (sum of bases)

h = 19
