The height of the trapezoid is 6 cm

<h3>How to find the height?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Bases = 5cm and 9cm

Area = 42 square cm

The height is calculated using

Area = 0.5 * (Sum of bases) * Height

So, we have:

42 = 0.5 * (5 + 9)* Height

This gives

42 = 7* Height

Divide through by 7

Height= 6

Hence, the height of the trapezoid is 6 cm
